Agreed that the Nissan Leaf was not a bad introduction to EVs. It sucks that they took so long to get to 200-250 mile EPA range, though, which really ought to be the minimum (along with 100kW DC charging) for a pure electric vehicle. But at least they were doing something.

Sadly it did take them a long time to get up to the higher ranges. I think they wanted to wait for the new rev to come out on the typical 7 year cycle and out their efforts into that model rather than extensively improve the (ugly) first version.
