The Leaf was such a big name for a while and then Hyundai and Kia came with better cars and really changed the landscape.

    I have a leaf and a pick-up. Pick up gets me any where I need to go and lets me move furniture/ buy soil/ compost etc. It leaves the driveway maybe ever 3 weeks.

    I want a Canoo for my next EV.

      I swear, if ford would just make a phev version of the maverick, I’d buy one day one. As things are now I’m just dreaming of finding a cheap S10 or VW rabbit I could convert to electric. The canoos look nice but too big for my needs I think

          That’s good to know! Looks like it’s at least a little better than the kei trucks I was also considering. I just want a small truck that’s electric, and even the maverick I’d bigger than I’d prefer.

          Now I’m wondering if replacing the engine with a smaller electric motor might turn the engine bay into a larger crumple zone.
