I know this is a Leaf forum so there might be some pro-Leaf bias, but I nevertheless want to hear people's thoughts--especially anybody who considered both and ended up choosing a Leaf.
Comparing the Niro EX to SV+ w/ Tech Pkg, you've got similar features overall (e.g., power seat w/ lumbar support, adaptive cruise, etc) and moderately similar range (Niro wins by 10-15%).
To me, the most noteworthy differences might be (1) Chademo vs CCS fast charging, (2) exterior styling/shape (especially of trunk space & volume), (3) active vs. passive battery cooling, and (4) reliability, which I think is a bit of a wildcard at this point for the Kia, whereas proven pretty solid with the Leaf. Am I missing any?
Would value any input.
BTW, at least in my area, an SV+ w/ Tech Package and a Niro EV EX are fairly comparable in price, so price isn't really a pro or con for either at the moment.
