      The Leaf was the first mass-produced affordable EV in the states

      Well, technically the GM EV1 probably holds that title, but I agree with you in spirit.

        Not mass produced, not available for most of the country, lease only and every car was crushed.

        The EV1 was supposed to have demonstrated that EVs were not viable.

        Ehh the EV1 wasn’t really mass-produced, it was also lease-only so GM could crush them for that sweet sweet oil bribe money.

        Fuck you, GM.
