    C'mon toyota! wake up and get out of your fool-cell stupor! I fear I will NEVER buy from you again. And neither will the tens of thousands lining up for the Tesla Model 3. It seems so simple. You got the Rav4 EV using Tesla parts. work from there. use the Supercharger network. Just stop the hydrogen non-sense and make the right call. I am ONLY buying a toyota EV if you can bring me what Tesla already has...

    I'd bet more than the Mirai.
    Bob's summary post of the Dashboard report will have it.
    Or Mercedes-Benz B-Class Sales Figures - GOOD CAR BAD CAR
    M-B's American site only has the EV for the B-class, so those US sales from 2014 on are all the Electric Drive.

    i considered one when i first heard the ads, but still only 80-100 miles, and then there's that whole 'german engineering' thing.

    Not worth what, building a BEV?
    Their current FCEV is based on the same platform. According to Wikipedia, there are only 60 of those leased world wide.

    For the price and range, an i3 would be a cooler car to have with the carbon fiber body and no denying, unique style.
    But the Leaf is cheaper for even the 100mile range one, BEVs with twice the the B250e's range will be here soon at its price or lower.

    Over 2k units? Doesn't seem bad, the gasoline version in canada doesn't sell that much more.
