Well, my wife does tell me *all the time* that I'm a master of the obvious. I'm pretty sure that's a complement.DaveinOlyWA said:stating the obvious here I think...
Good points on the reasons, too. I'm sure you are right -- it's a combination of the price and the current capabilities.
I personally think its the battery that is the holdup with production. Nissan plants run multiple models on the same lines so adding another (LEAF) is not going to be all that much different especially when most of the stations are very similar and the ones that are not are almost always MUCH easier than their gas counterparts.
But batteries are built in batches that take several weeks to complete and not totally clued in on the process but guessing the results of each batch is not known until the final product is completed and tested.
this has to make troubleshooting and refining the process all that much more difficult
