MG5 might be better? Anyway, the range of used EVs is huge now at last. I would always be tempted to change my EV when the warranty expires unless it's a LEAF.

Round trips of 200+ miles are more common. Drive from Liverpool to Hull for the day, for example. You may not want to break that journey, so the range is important If you do that sort of journey often. Fortunately, there are lots of used 300 mile EVs in the UK now.

Most people that drive a hybrid will want their next car to be an EV. They are the transition drug to full electric. But now that 300 mile range EVs are affordable (used), hybrids seem pointless for most people living in a small country like the UK.

Sodium or LFP batteries are not resource intensive. These are two of the more recent chemistries. Hydrogen production is very resource intensive for cars.

BBC and other UK organisations need to leave X now. It's too closely linked to toxic politics and extremism. Write a letter to the BBC asking why they continue to support this platform for hate.

Chinese car brands will see off Musk. New rivals to Tesla are coming out every month. Cheaper and better. Xpeng for example. Maybe the new wave of British patriotism will see UK car buyers go for the new Nissan Leaf; proudly made in Sunderland.

If it's a 24kWh LEAF with at least 10/12 battery bars on the capacity meter in the car it will have a range of about 65 miles. 30kWh has n issues with the battery but if you can find one with at least 10/12 battery should be good for 90 miles

LEAF 40kWh is a bargain in the UK at the moment. Sold my Tekna for less than £7k in great condition. Seen them going for less now.

Will be interesting to find out what the pricing is in the USA. UK pricing still not available, but hopefully low trim of the LEAF will be competitive with MGS5 and other EV crossovers

Only from the rear. And Prius looks similar too. Completely different shape to both overall though.

MG S5 Trophy top trim level is currently selling for around £23k in UK with delivery mileage so Nissan will be forced to compete with that on the lowest Leaf trim level at least. Not taking orders until 2026 so they have time to adjust pricing..
