Unless Nissan is thinking is that the Kona Electric is a compliance vehicle that, over the next two years, will only sell a couple hundred models in Southern California and therefore won't really be a competitor? Fair enough, but this was the Ioniq EV's story between 2017-2019,....
As I've said it before many times, I'm highly skeptical about all the Kona EV and Niro EV buzz until we see the vehicles available widely in the US and in quantity, not the near vaporware So Cal only status of the Ioniq EV.
I just saw this posted at https://www.facebook.com/groups/seattlenissanleaf/permalink/2284550154909742/?comment_id=2284563001575124&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D and it sounds like what I guessed might be right.
WA dealer is saying it will be *years* before they get any up there. CA first and Oregon next.
It cracks me up when people outside CA talk about such vehicles, and even more so if they don't live in CARB emissions state.
