Those Nissan concept cars are making me want to blind myself with a fork

The main benefit for us is charging at home every night. Every morning I have 200+ miles of range (ok, less in the winter but still plenty) and never have to go to a gas station.

Second, in the winter I can get heat out of my car almost instantaneously because there’s no engine to warm up. That’s nice when I’m leaving work and it’s 11 degrees out.

Third, we lease a Kia. It’s not impressing the neighbors, but it’s only $350 a month and I save probably $125 a month on energy costs and probably $30 on maintenance costs. Insurance costs are no different for me compared to an ICE car.

If you can’t charge at home and insist on buying an expensive EV vs leasing a less expensive one, then your experience will be different.
