I think a lot of dealerships in the US won’t have Nissan Leafs since they are too cheap and therefore, the profit margin is thinner.
If they had space for 500 cars that they want to sell over a few months, and they were all going to be EVs, they’d want all 500 spaces to be Audi e-trons, Mercedes EQS’ and Cadillac Lyrics, because those cars are worth more.
Thing is now, people don’t want to pay that much for an electric if they are on the fence about trusting the tech or getting used to charging etc. So there’s a sales slump. Dealers are sitting on a ton of mid to high end and are looking to blame anyone but themselves for the slowdown in sales.

Just my thoughts on the situation anyway.
Car dealer: stocks only very expensive cars
Customers:
Car dealer: shocked Pikachu
So the dealers tried nothing and they’re all out of ideas. Save us, government!
Might also be the very American perception that you’re a bitch if you drive anything smaller than a battle tank.
So dealers don’t want to stock anything but Ford F150s
Actually the American perception is that people who drive battle tanks are insecure wusses with tiny peepees
Half is column A, half is column B.
Well, hold on - that isn’t only a perception - it’s objective reality.
