    Did they get to that low price point by changing a manufacturing process or did they just cut quality checks?

        The Niro ain’t a bad replacement. Or the Hyundai Kona. But yeah. I agree that was a big mistake.

          I’m pretty biased since I have both a Soul and a Kona sitting in my driveway, but I’d take electric of either once I actually own a house. I’m hesitant to get an EV before I can charge at home.

          I’m just a hatchback fan. Small enough to be easy to drive and big enough to fit both of my Mastiffs.

          Probably because Nissan didn’t do active cooling on their batteries so they don’t last very long.

      It wasn’t a prototype. They sold it for 4 years in Japan and Europe, but it recently got the axe.

      It’s a really dope car in person, but a lot of people avoided it because it was about $44k for a car that only got 135mi of range.

    17.7″ infotainment

    Wow, how fast is that 0-60?

    Jokes aside, that looks like an insanely good offer, at just $27,495 after tax credit, and with 319 mile range (513 km) .
    The article is very sparse on details though. But here (EU) that range would be amazing at that price.
