Hopefully they start using active cooling on their batteries...
I just got the Ariya which has active cooling. I think the leaf still doesn't though.
What are your initial impressions of the Ariya?
It's been great so far, but it's my first EV so comparisons are difficult. It checked all the major boxes I was looking for, particularly AWD and range close to 300mi. It has a lot of creature comforts that were an upgrade from the Impreza I had previously, but nothing you can't get in an ICE; heated steering and seats, remote climate control, and other tech upgrades.
If you like buttons and knobs then you might not like the Ariya; they went for a very minimalist design and most controls are on the touch screen. That hasn't been too much of an issue for me.
The plus models with eForce are plenty quick (scared the shit out of my wife the first time we gunned it down the freeway). It is heavy though, as one would expect. Overall, for the price point it's a solid choice if you want something more like an SUV than the ioniq 5 or the EV6. The overall build quality seems quite good (Hyundai and Kia appears just felt a little flimsy to me). I am quite happy with it so far.
Good to hear it's decent. The more competitors in the mid-price EV market, the better
