The shorthand for all of this is to buy EPA range that is double the commute range that the owner wants to be drama free.
Okay but didn't you also argue in this thread that "The Tesla Model 3 SR+ is 262 miles range, is a LOT more car than a LEAF, and is $40k excluding taxes and delivery."?
The M3 SR+ does not give double the OP's desired drama free range. But you made the M3 SR+ comment within this context. So you seem to be suggesting 262 miles of Tesla range would be enough, while a Nissan would require 320 mile range to satisfy the OP. If we apply the 2x standard consistently then we would be discussing the M3 LR as a viable solution at a whopping $52,690 delivered.
I agree that this usage case is a stretch, perhaps a stretch too far for the Leaf. But I also doubt that the best solution is to spend 2x the money for a Tesla.
