| IF you decide on a PHEV, I highly recommend the Volvo XC90 Recharge. We are getting 1700 miles on a tank of gas. |

Like riding in an expensive tin can with poorly designed door handles. |

The Model Y really blew me away when it came out four years ago but its styling and features are starting to look old/stale compared to other brands. The key feature you want is access to the supercharger network. Any news on when they are going to have something fresh? |

If you're open to a sports sedan, the market for used Audi eTron GT has completely collapsed.
The 2024 eTron GT starts at $104K. However, you can get a 2022 model with only 10K miles for $54K. https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/l-Used-Audi-e-tron-GT-d3115#listing=383897294/NONE/DEFAULT The 2024 RS eTron GT starts at an eye watering $147K. But you can pick up a 2022 model in Silver Spring with only 8600 miles for $76K. https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/inventorylisting/viewDetailsFilterViewInventoryListing.action?zip=20007&inventorySearchWidgetType=AUTO&sortDir=ASC&sourceContext=untrackedExternal_false_0&distance=100&sortType=BEST_MATCH&entitySelectingHelper.selectedEntity=d3126#listing=371961441/NONE/DEFAULT |

This key feature is being rolled out to virtually every EV; Fords and Rivians already have it, and others are adding very soon. |

| Get a 2025 Mach-E. My understanding is that they will support the Tesla supercharger network. Other chargers only seem to be working 50% of the time when you find them. |

Hmmm what could ever be the reason |

Just about every other manufacturer has signed a deal for their cars to get access to the Tesla network in the next year or two, there’s almost no reason to worry about this anymore. If you have home charging, especially, you’ll be fine. We take our non-Tesla EV on multiple long road trips every year; it takes a bit of advance planning, but as new chargers get built out, that gets easier and easier. And VW, which makes our car, is one of the last Tesla rivals to sign with the Supercharger network, but they’ll still have access by sometime in 2025. |

| Buy a used EV or even better get a lease on a non-Tesla. The depreciation on new EVs without the NACS charging port ( formerly called Tesla charging port) will be large. Also new batteries are coming from the Chinese company CATL allowing DC fast charging of 370 miles in ten minutes. The next generation of EVs will cause massive depreciation of this generation of EV vehicles. |

I got a great deal on a Volvo EV lease--the range is less than I would want for a 10 year car, but for 3 years it's fine. I figure the technology will be way better in 3 years and will have tons of options at that time. Our first lease ever, though anticipate buying again in the future. |
