Wow! That was my point.
These are compliance cars and not very good cars at that. They were
forced top make them and wouldn't have sold hardly any without the
incentive.
Heck, Nissan admitted that their highest selling city was Atlanta.
Georgia had a $5000 tax credit on top of the $7500. As soon as they
remove it sales will go to zero because it is a false economy. people
always want something cheap or free.
I own a 1-MiEV as well because I live in Alabama and I can go to Atlanta
and buy a used one for $5000 but i also own a Model 3 and there is no
comparison. Tesla's will sell no matter what the price because they are
good cars. Nissan said for years they were loosing money on every car
along with the other manufacturers.
No argument here. Though I love my imievs and drive them when ever the
range will allow. The Leaf would be an ok car were it not for the
crappy short life batteries and poor support. No such trouble with
imievs. Yet.
Obviously, the compliance EV makers COULD have followed Tesla's path:
make a car with more generous range AND provide charging infrastructure.
Not to mention superior support.
