This might be an appealing option: https://www.subaru.com/solterra-ev.html
There is a Toyota version, if you prefer that nameplate (Toyota owns 20% of Subaru). |

| Don’t get a Tesla. That much I’m sure of |

Chinese owned, designed & built in Sweden >>>>>> Ford crap |

Somebody here posted that it’s almost like driving a pickup truck with a MAGA flag hanging out the back. I love that. |

We love our Tesla and haven’t had any issues. Friends who have Teslas love theirs too.

I didn’t know Sweden was known for their technologies. I understand women in Sweden are beautiful, but engineering and technology? |

Those three point seatbelts in every car in the world was invented by Volvo. |

My Volvo was an amazing car, so there’s that. |

Bumping this. SERIOUSLY considering our first EV. We weren't thinking electric -- we drove and liked the SQ5, S5, and Macan.
Then we went to BMW and drove the i4 M50. What a joy. Fast and smooth. DH has driven Teslas and the EV6, and likes the BMW better. Really nearby solid dealer with service loaners, too. Installing a level 2 charger may be a pain, but it's in the same price range as the others and we'll save on gas and oil changes, which will reduce the cost of the charger install. Our other car is a minivan, so we don't need space. This car will be for daily commutes and the occasion weekend jaunt. Backseat will be rarely used. Kids are out of rear-facing carseats. This will be our first car purchase in 20 years where we didn't get a very hefty discount. It's tough to swallow, but at least we can build out the car we want, which we've never done. I saw one person on this forum who's bought an i4 M50. If that person or others have any thoughts, I'd appreciate them! |

Oops, PP. Realize this was an SUV thread. My bad. If the mods want to move, that'd be nifty.

| Macan EV is due out for 2024 model year, if you want (a) an electric Porsche and (b) to wait a while |

| Rode around in my friend's Rivian and it was a little bit rough of a ride. The rest of it is great though and there is a ridiculous amount of cargo space. Their friend also got an SUV and has already taken it into the shop to deal with the rough ride. |
