Probably should have put some fans on the battery for the Leaf lol
If they expanded their lineup to be based on the Leaf EV instead of just leaving it a lil econobox and focusing on their god aweful CVT they may have had been a great early EV competitor. Instead, ownership just kept sucking and sucking the company dry
The amount of time they used that awful CVT would make Ford and GM blush
Ya, they really fucked things up. They were so well positioned with their early start if they'd done things better and didn't rest on it.
What sucks is that the leaf was a fairly sensible econobox and it was one of the most affordable EVs you could get. All they had to do was build on that!
