    “Nissan’s Hyper Punk concept seems like a good inspiration for the Juke EV, with an edgy design tailored for content creators, influencers, and artists.” Hard. Pass.

    Agree with Electreks take on this, that what the Leaf needs is to ditch the chademo charging in favor or NACS for the US and CCS for Europe, and also just update the battery to an active cooled one with better charging.

    Here in Europe, the lack of CCS and poor charging performance severely hinders this car from being a true first car.

    Every day I begin to hate crossover SUVs more and more. Why must cars of all form factors be consumed by this god-awful SUV trend?

        I was talking about cars in general, not just EVs. But even in the case of EVs, that’s just a poor excuse to avoid developing better battery systems.

        I’d say it’s lazy rather than easy. Manufacturers can take their ICE-SUV platform and drop a big ass battery in it, and it kinda works (that’s what stellantis has been doing).

        But the kWh of that big SUV’s battery then gets eaten by the poor efficiency of the SUV design… so what good is it?

        Dedicated platform don’t seem to have trouble fitting enough battery. Look at all the longest range EVs. They are sedans, not SUVs.

        SUV help to have both cargo and range. But if this was really the goal, we’d have higher station wagon rather than SUVs (probably something like the Megane or the Enyaq).

    …as a crossover coupe SUV…

    Now we’re just missing sedan and convertible on this bingo card of let’s try to be everything all at once.

    Nissan design is just, not very attractive. They need to rethink their corporate grille and learn how to design normal looking wheels for starters.

    If Nissan would have put battery cooling in the 2nd gen, I would have one by now. I think it looks nice, good form factor in a hatchback/small wagon sort of way, but in Arizona, battery cooling is a must.

    Is literally no company left trying to make a decent car that doesn’t compromise for SUV looks and lots of ride height?

    I am not buying an SUV, miniSUV, anySUV. Why is this the only choice we have? The Leaf looks OK if some normal wheels were put on, but the other two? OMFG what are they thinking?
