That's not the proper takeaway from that video. His main point is that for most households with more than 1 vehicle, one of them should be an EV. He went on to explain why multi-vehicle families should own an EV.

Nissan dropped the ball in several ways. They were first to make widely available EVs by a long shot, but still don't offer one with a 200 mile range. Their competition passed them by even though they had an enormous head start. 2nd, they still don't have active thermal management despite it having proven a bad decision in the gen I. Finally, EVs are easily capable of outperforming their ICE counterparts, and the fact that the gen II Leaf only has about average acceleration is inexcusable.
