In Richmond (around the Chinese mall areas, at least), the bZ / Solterra has actually become fairly common. Granted, Model 3/Y are still the dominant EV by a long shot, but since the days when a huge factory rebate/discount was slapped onto the pre-facelifed bZ / Solterra, they have been popping up with increasing frequency. And now with the latest round of rebate+discount, I have no doubt we'll see more of them around (although I suspect it'll be more bZ than Solterra).
Another EV that I've seen a lot more lately is the Fiat 500e. I'd never trust a Fiat for reliability, but with those $39/week leases, I guess many people are willing to roll the dice.
It is a shame that from 2 (or maybe 3?) years ago when Polestar offered a 12 months $299/month lease deal on the Polestar 2, it didn't seem to have resulted in too many more of those cars getting on the road. I can't imagine how the PS2 isn't a better EV than the 500e, even when it is slightly more expensive.
