As if there weren’t already enough reasons to not buy a GM.

As if there weren’t already enough reasons to not buy a GM.
- OkayPhysicist 11mo agoI think it's a shame, because the Bolt was the only adequate attempt at an affordable EV in the American market. The Nissan Leaf had the first mover disadvantage of having a unique charging port and not quite enough range for quite a while, the Model 3 never quite got cheap enough and has so much locked behind trim features that it feels nickel-and-dimey, and pretty much nobody else bothered trying to get sub-30k.
- entropicdrifter 11mo agoThe redesigned 2026 Leaf looks pretty impressive, TBH.
- RegnisGnaw 11mo agoI find it weird that the 2026 Leaf has 2 charging ports.
- p1mrx 11mo agoSo in order to use a Level 1/2 NACS charger, you have to plug into the J1772 port via an adapter, instead of the NACS port. Wow, lazy engineering at its finest: https://insideevs.com/news/762582/nissan-leaf-j1772-nacs-slow-charging/ https://insideevs.com/news/762582/nissan-leaf-j1772-nacs-slo...
- OkayPhysicist 11mo agoThat's probably not that big a deal. I can count the number of times I've used a public slow charger in my last 4 years of EV ownership on one hand. Slow charging basically only makes sense at home, where you're leaving your car charging overnight (where you'll obviously have your own car's charging cable). Out and about, it makes a lot more sense to use a DC fast charger, where having a port that will fit the charging stations matters a lot more.
