>Conpanies like Nissan have reliable EVs that have been there for a while (the Leaf). However they make more profit selling petrol-powered SUVs, so the dealers don't promote them. I recently was looking at purchasing a used Leaf Plus (the new gen) but I was utterly shocked to discover threads on the Leaf subreddit discouraging people from taking long roadtrips on the Leaf because the battery overheats and will reduce the charging speeds. You cannot just go from charge > drive > charge and expect the same speeds. I was about to move from NJ to California and driving across the country :/ Now I am forced to look at the Volt as that is all I can afford. I don't even like this car but I want to get onto at least a semi zero emission platform. The Teslas have tons of problems, (random build quality, poor parts availability, high insurance caused by the above). Someone who wants a reasonably priced EV that they can use under all circumstances as a regular car don't have many options right now.
