They often have no spare tire to fit the battery. Quite a few don't have battery thermal management, so the packs will degrade much more quickly. It seems like they have all the downsides.


My Hybrid Corolla didn't come with a spare tire but it has space to install one (and I did). The battery is under the rear seating.


New Toyota Corollas don't have spare tires. They're not an outlier. Are there available (new) EVs other than the Nissan Leaf that doesn't have active thermal management?

EVs do have downsides, but so do ICE and hybrid.


No battery thermal management?? I thought no one did that after the disaster that was the original Nissan leaf's battery
