    That’s very true. The recalls for the Leaf and Volt also concern me. They do not seem safe or reliable. I totally get that China isn’t the standard-bearer for quality, but they definitely have more experience making EVs. I feel like anywhere around $30k is steep for the Volt and (considering your insight on battery cooling) way too much for the Leaf.

      The recalls for my leaf have been: rear camera issues, 15m fix, an issue with my OS that was a 20m fix, and the battery melting once in 110f weather because it was made wrong AND they don’t have active cooling, which took 9 months to fix because they’re a garbage company, but that issue only impacted my model year and the batteries from a specific factory

      The real issue with the Leaf is the pathetic range and the CHAdeMO connector that they still put on their cars despite that losing the war back in like 2019
