>The Leaf is a superb vehicle in every aspect, except for range and price.
It's the most affordable electric car out there.
>Given a little time the tech will come close to Tesla's.
What tech?
>They could license Tesla's battery technology
Why would they? My understanding is that there's nothing special about Tesla's battery technology. Leaf just has less batteries (in kg) in them, so the range is lower.
