As long as it doesn't become mandatory to go all-electric, or ICEs get so heavily taxed to the point of becoming unsuitable at all, I could really care less about the politics. But all the concerns surrounding range-anxiety won't go away so soon...

So far the worst and really the only technical problem still with the leaf is no actively cooled battery. The resistance based heating works pretty good but it murders range, but that was changed to heatpump in 2013.

I'm not so familiar with heat pumps. When it comes to heating, IIRC some electric cars in the '90s relied on a gasoline-fueled (or Diesel-fueled) heater instead.
