Tell me about your EV

[Anonymous]

Looking to replace a 15 year old Honda Civic with a similar sized (or slightly larger) EV commuter car. What do you drive and what do you love about it? I see a lot of Nissan Leafs in my neighborhood. Also looking at the VW. Thoughts? Would love to hear what you love or hate about your EV!

No one LOVES their EV? I see Teslas all over the place, and I have to admit, they are fun to drive. Want something less flashy and more practical.

You're looking for a small car, not SUV right?

There are some options out there. The Leaf is older technology. How about a Tesla Model 3? Polestar? Hyundai Iconiq?

Hyundai Kona EV would probably best meet your needs.

I don't own one but love the look of the Hyundai Ioniq.

We bought an old Leaf for our teen to drive. Turns out we all like zipping around in it. I'm sure the newer ones are even better.

Yes, I’m looking for a smaller vehicle, but bigger than the Volt. Could be small suv. Will check out the Hyundai.

WE put a deposit down on a Polestar. I am very excited about it. It is a beautiful looking car IMO and a blast to drive. It is small though so if you are tall it might not work for you.

I saw a Polestar sedan this week driving next to me and it honestly looked like an airport rental car. Awful curb appeal IRL.

My sister just bought a Hybrid Lexus and seems happy with it.

Really happy with Bolt EV. OP, what do you anticipate using the new car for where it being slighlty bigger than the Civic will address your issue?

I love my VW ID.4, but I think it’s a little larger than you want.

My i3 was an amazing city car and the range extender helped with long trips. It could park anywhere. It was a carbon fiber go cart. Inside, it was surprisingly roomy. It looks unique. Buying it used was a great deal.

I upgraded to a Model Y for the extra space. It’s a good car. It does road trips well. It’s huge inside. I miss the BMW’s tiny turning radius. I love the speed of the supercharger network when compared to EVGo.

The ID.4 is, FWIW, slightly shorter than a Prius V or a Honda Accord. It looks big because it's styled like a compact SUV. We love ours, too; the turning radius on the RWD version is fantastic.

What about the KIA EV6?
