>The Nissan Leaf is an atrocious electric vehicle
The Leaf has been received well.
Wikipedia: "The Leaf has received awards from multiple organizations. Notable awards include the inclusion by Time magazine as one of the 50 best inventions of 2009.[386] At the 2010 Washington Auto Show, the Leaf was given the 2010 Green Car Vision Award by the Green Car Journal (GCJ), who noted that the Leaf "will provide the features, the styling, and the driving experience that will meet the needs of a sophisticated and demanding market, while producing zero localized emissions and requiring no petroleum fuels."[387] Popular Mechanics, upon awarding the Leaf its 2010 Breakthrough Award, explained that the Nissan Leaf is "not the first pure EV, but [...] hits the mainstream like none of its predecessors." Popular Mechanics also alluded to the Leaf's 160 kilometres (100 mi) range, which is said to be "enough for most commuters for the price of an average vehicle – and with a much lower operating cost than gasoline-powered vehicles."[388]
Other awards received by the Leaf include the 2011 European Car of the Year,[389] EV.com’s 2011 EV of the Year,[390] 2011 Eco-Friendly Car of the Year by Cars.com,[391] 2011 Green Fleet Electric Vehicle of the Year,[392] it was listed among the 2011 Greenest Vehicles of the Year by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy,[393][394] also listed by Mother Earth News among its "Best Green Cars" of 2011,[395] and also was ranked first in Kelley Blue Book Top 10 Green Cars for 2011.[396] The Leaf won the 2011 World Car of the Year,[397] and was a finalist for the 2011 World Green Car.[398] Ward's Auto listed the Leaf's 80 kW electric motor in Ward's 10 Best Engines for 2011.[399] Until October 2011 the Leaf was ranked as the most efficient EPA certified vehicle for all fuels ever.[400][401] In December 2011 the Leaf was awarded with the 2011-2012 Car of the Year Japan at the Tokyo Motor Show.[402]"
>Nissan has to continue to slash the price to move them,
Nissan Leaf is the best selling electric car in history.
- jcromartie 13y agoIt's a great electric car, not a great car. Hence all of the awards are for being a "Green Car", and not general awards.
