Shoot, you could buy TWO Ford Fiestas for less than the price of one Nissan Leaf.
I’m not knocking EV technology. I believe one day they will be able to mass produce an electric car that can meet the demands of normal driving. But they ain’t doing that now.
And to make matters worse, our marxist government is subsidizing with taxpayer dollars the sale of these glorified golf carts. And that is what pisses me off the most.
Epic failure.
If you need a small car that gets good gas mileage, a we all may thing summer with gas prices, the Fiesta is a good choice. I would love good electric cars aka coal cars but anyone who uses rechargeable batteries knows they do not last. In adddition, china has locked up many o fthe rare earth elements needed to build this stuff.
May have to rethink my plan to get a Leaf. I think I’ll shoot for this car instead, with the 300 mile battery pack.

At our local downtown garages in Greenville Sc, there is free plug ins for electric vehicles. I am always so tempted to unplug them.
