The unfortunately truth is many of the Electric Vehicles centered sites in US are Tesla fan sites more or less.
If EVs have to truly succeed they have to be coming from more than one brand.
- Mitsubishi Outland PHEV
- Hyundai Ionic series
- Chevy BoltEV
Lincoln Aviator PHEV, Prosche Cayenne Hybrid covering luxury SUV segment.
There are tons of EVs and PHEVs out there which pretty much cover a large swath of vehicle size already.
The problem is these sites that are supposed to promote Electric Drive train jerk-off weeks on Tesla rumors and Elons tweets.
- geerlingguy 7y agoHybrids are ‘meh’ to me. A ton of EV advantages are dismissed or tossed out the window once you mix in a gas engine.

- steelframe 7y agoI went from two BEVs to a BEV and a PHEV. One day while I was waiting for the 6th time that day at a glacial refueling rate of "20 miles of range in 5 minutes" with my BEV on a road trip from Seattle to Salt Lake City, I realized that what I value from a plug-in battery is the "full tank" every morning when I pull out of my garage. What I value from gas is the "400 miles of range in 5 minutes" when on a road trip. Suddenly it became abundantly clear that a PHEV was the only thing that made sense for me for a car I use on occasional road trips.

- kmonsen 7y agoDon't forget Kia, and for Hyundai I think Kona is more important than Ionic. I have the Kia EV, and I don't love it, but I really like it. For the price it is great.
- p1mrx 7y agoThe Kia Niro & Hyundai Kona are the top-rated EVs on Consumer Reports right now. The main problem is their relatively-limited availability.
