It just came to my attention that Mazda finally has an EV in 2022, the MX-30, but it only has 160 km of range. Is this a joke?

I have an old Leaf from 2016 that can go further. Who is going to pay $40k in 2022 for this little range?

That might explain why I haven’t heard of it until now, let alone seen one on the road.
