I wouldn’t call the Nissan Leaf or GM Bolt+Volt luxury cars at any stretch - thought I appreciate they’re priced $10k more than they should be. I’m still convinced GM and BMW are deliberately trying to delay, if not sabotage, the mass adoption of BEV cars.

I own a Leaf and absolutely love it to death, but it just is not a $35,000 car. I'd have never bought mine for full MSRP, even with all the money in the world. However once these cheap little EV's with 20-30kWh batteries drop to the range of ~$15k new (which I have no doubt will be within 5 years, based on battery price forecasts) it's going to become a no-brainer for most urban people.
- coredog64 9y agoYou are not GM’s customer, dealerships are. If dealers don’t want to sell BEVs (for whatever reason) GM can’t do much.
