Again the wise execs miss the real market . . . an EV model built for the world in which we drive. Just the basics, and sell for <$20K.
My Leaf is really a 40 mile x2 daily limit car (80 daily roundtrip miles) and those short drives don't need all the helps. My Leaf is a great city runabout, but on those short jaunts on familiar roads, what's the need for all the extras? A NAV system when we are restricted to driving local roads? Why all the hype about CHADeMO QC, when there are very few (2?) such charge stations in all of greater L.A., probably the biggest potential market?

I DO LOVE MY LEAF, but please, target it for what it truly is, and allow me to have a
plain but fun and low price city runabout.
