No, non-Sunderland built EVs

Why would I think the Nissan Leaf would be a threat to the Sunderland plant?

Of course they will be fine and dandy if it continues to be a popular EV, but as EV take up grows and more makes and models come online, competition is likely to challenge their current market position no? And if the rise of EV leads to non-EV demand falling and models being withdrawn, is Sunderland viable as an EV only plant?
