I concur that getting a lower cost BEV is critical to getting mass adoption. And I agree Nissan should do both - beat the Bolt to maintain their tech leadership position and provide an affordable option for those who don't need the range. If they do both well, they should re-establish themselves as the volume leader too.
Sounds like you got an awesome deal on your Leaf. That should be one benefit of longer range BEVs coming out. The shorter range ones will get discounted and more people will be able to get into them and realize how wonderfully economical they are. I seriously thought about the Smart ED because after incentives, it was a very inexpensive car. But I'm glad I went with the Leaf as we have gotten much more use out of it since there are 3 of us the family.
The next few years hold lots of potential.
