I am probably going to trade in my car for an EV this year. I have been following the technology for a while but I really do no not like all the touchscreen nonsense.
Do you like your EV? What is it? What are the pros and cons of your experience?
The Ford MachE and the Subaru Solterra are at the top of my list but I like the KIA too.
pros
charge at home (no stopping at petrol stations)
costs like $2 to fill from solar
super fast take off speeds
super quiet (not waking up the neighbours when i head out at 11pm)
cons
mine has a range of 300km, i wish it was double or more, essentially can never have enough range even if you only go interstate once in a blue moon
once you leave the big cities here in australia ev charging spots are still limited but getting better
pro/con
so far all maint was handled under warranty with the most annoying thing being a plastic hand brake lever inside the car breaking, if you’re a car guy you’re not gonna be happy as almost everything just works and the dealer fixes the rest from what i can see
