Your complaint is pretty much only relevant to early Leafs with crappy batteries. There is a limited number of them and they will exit the vehicle pool in due time. There are plenty of other EVs out there that are getting cheaper by the day.
$665 a year is $55 a month. There are plenty of people paying $50 a week for gas to commute back and forth to work. Some of them might want a cheap commuter.
BTW, what is the break-down of that $665? The Wisconsin DMV says a plate is $85 and EVs have a $100 surcharge.
