EV Channels Review
The Electrek Podcast episode from December 8th, 2017, covers a range of EV news, with a significant focus on the Nissan Leaf 2018 review. The reviewer highlights the Leaf as a solid, usable entry-level EV with a competitive price point, approximately $5,000 cheaper than the cheapest Model 3 and $7,000 less than the Bolt. The 150-mile range is deemed sufficient for most daily needs, and the driving experience, particularly the 'e-pedal' functionality, is praised. The design refresh is also well-received, making the car look more conventional and appealing. While acknowledging that Tesla offers more brand appeal, the Leaf is positioned as a practical and affordable alternative. The discussion also touches upon Tesla's Semi truck orders, Elon Musk's comments on Tesla's in-house chip development, and the ongoing legal battles surrounding direct sales, with a notable win for Tesla in Missouri.
