An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that's the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

I'm going to be laughing in my wheetabix when there's not a single EV older than a decade on their original batteries.

This excludes major battery recalls, such as the Chevy Bolt and Hyundai Kona.

Yes. And?

Boy... if all those 2010 Leafs are still on the road, why can't I find any used for sale??

It's almost like they didn't do any investigative work and just regurgitated a Nissan spokesperson. It's fucking Forbes after all.

So two strikes to you. Wanna try again?

Because the first model year for the Nissan Leaf was 2011, not 2010.

Most cars are physically manufactured a year or so before the model year. If you want to search for Leafs (Leaves?) manufactured in 2010, look for model year 2011.
