I dont see the Nissan leaf as legitimate actually. An air cooled EV battery is like an air cooled engine in a traditional vehicle. I mean it works... until it doesn't.

The Nissan leaf should sell at a significant discount to other EV's since it lacks active thermal management. It is priced lower but not enough for me to consider it.
