Maybe not too surprising on this one. I hear the range on these are not great especially if you drive them spiritedly. And given it’s a first gen product on a new tech, no one really knows what these will be worth 5 - 10 years from now.
I love mine. 125-140 is realistic. Might be a little optimistic if you’re doing 80 on the freeway. Handles great, very comfortable. I plug mine in at night on a regular 110 (slow) charger and it keeps me topped off enough that I haven’t bothered to get a faster charger. (It’d be expensive for me because I’d have to trechnto.my garage)
On the rare occasion I have multiple long driving days in a row, then I take it to the public charger a block away and top it off faster.
It is nearly perfect for my day to day needs.
Downsides: it’s a little small for say a beach trip with the family, starts to feel pretty stuffed once you add boogie boards and a small cooler.
Not for road trips. The slow charging time and limited range means you don’t want to be road tripping regularly. But my wife and I have another car (and we are actually hopefully replacing that car with a hybrid this week). We basically share both cars (my wife is WFH so she doesn’t drive much) and prioritize using the EV as much as possible depending on who is doing what. I think for a 2 car family one EV and one hybrid will be a pretty optimal blend of efficiency and convenience.
The third car is the fun car. :)
