Still smug “Juno winner” makes stupid EV purchase

When a Leaf turns into a ‘brick’: Juno winner describes EV catastrophe

The owner of a Nissan Leaf electric car says his experience has been a cautionary tale for others who might make the leap to electric vehicles.

And though Brian Sanderson has paid 417 Nissan, the dealership that’s been servicing the car, almost $10,000, he said the bills aren’t even the most heartbreaking part of his experience.

“It’s cruel because I don’t want to be part of the ‘let’s slam electric vehicles’ crowd,” said Sanderson, a professional musician who, along with his instrumental chamber rock ensemble Esmerine, has won four Juno Awards.

I have no idea why the CBC thinks being a Juno winner has a bearing on this story.
