&gt;Wow. So tens of thousands of highly educated people in a cold climate country aren&#x27;t a good enough indicator?<p>Educated people are the types of people that do a cost analysis taking into account tax incentives and choose the best value, even if cheap.<p>For example, Nissan Leafs are awful compared to other cars at the same sticker price and can hardly make it back and forth to work for a long commute. However, lots of people in the bay have them because:<p>* massive tax credits make it cheap<p>* it gets employees better parking at many offices<p>* free charging at many offices<p>* access to the HOV lane
