The crazy thing about Nissan, to me anyway, is that they've been doing this about as long as Tesla now and their EVs are barely competitive with new comers like Hyundai/Kia. How are they so bad at making EVs?!
I get the feeling they put lots of money into R&D initially and created the Leaf, then just....stopped innovating on it. The Leaf looks very similar in tech from its release date in 2010.
This is what they've done with most of their vehicles. The Frontier was unchanged for 16 years. They're essentially the Chrysler/Dodge of Japanese manufacturers.
Nissan has been making gas cars for even longer and they suck too. It's mostly just a Nissan problem.
Thanks Carlos.
Wow, that's a wild story.
