    It’s a single model and virtually the only model of EV less affluent Americans can afford. That’s a huge market.

      It is a big, untapped market but it’s not a big market for the Leaf. Tesla sold 3x more Model 3 in the last year alone than Nissan has sold in the entire 14 year production run of the Leaf. It’s a hot mess.

        The Model 3 is over $40,000. It’s selling more because Americans are barely even aware cheaper EVs exist.
