There are now no less than three 1st tier, mid-sized "native" fully electric vehicles on sale here. The Leaf, the BMW i3 and the e-UP in addition to the converted Ford Focus Electric. The Leaf is finally getting some competition.
Surprising not to see Toyota participating yet. I expected them to have a head start since they have been producing hybrids ~forever.
- wattengard 13y agoThe e-UP is hardly "mid-sized". And you forgot the MiEV and it's cousins. Toyta had the iQ proposed for an EV-conversion, but that went to hell in a glovecompartment... If Toyota took advantage of their partnership with Tesla and pushed out an Auris with a Leaf-like range, and an Avensis with a Model S-like range. Competitors shit would really hit the fan-belt... (Ok, I'm done with the bad car puns now :/ )
