Nissan has invested a billion dollars in it's battery development and God knows how much in the rest. They are outselling all the other EVs, combined. You can't slight them for charging what they cost.
My reverse-trike will cost about the same price as the a Leaf but mine is custom built, not an assembly line build. My RT will also use a lot of carbon fiber and Alulight aluminum foam panel. It will weigh only 25% (800lbs.) of the Leaf EV curb weight. With half the battery weight, I'm estimating around 150 mile range.
