People don't want Leafs because they come with too many compromises.
Small battery, slow, weird and phased-out charging port; list goes on. It's a first-gen EV through and through.
However, Nissan's second EV, the Ariya, is selling much better! Crossover CUV (which America wants), bigger battery, fast, stylish, starts at $39.5k.
We also now have sub-$30k used Tesla's out in the market too.

I'm not eligible for either tax rebate (used or new), so 1 year ago I would have paid north of $40k for it. There are definitely some good deals out there.

The annoyances of the Leaf are overstated, and the benefits are way better than people give credit for. If people do what’s popular, they have to accept a popularity tax for the “keeping up with the Joneses” lifestyle
