exactly - the rejection of short range EVs was when they cost as much as a normal car
if the short range EV is now much cheaper, people will adapt to the restriction because it's an affordable option
Would have to be very affordable. Like well under $10K. Otherwise I'll just buy a used ICE vehicle and have a lot more flexibility in how I use it.
Yep, you can pick up used Leafs for super cheap (under $10k, sometimes substantially) and if they fit your use case, they're an amazing deal. Mostly helpful as a second car for a family, or as a city car for someone who never plans to road trip in it.
