It is kind of sad to see Japanese EVs barely take off. After seeing all the weird and busted stuff about Teslas (on top of the "luxury price for fake luxury interior" stuff)... all I really want for an EV is a Yaris but with a battery.
I just want normal door handles and a satnav with buttons, and Japanese makers seem to be among the last holdouts.

- bestouff 3y agoI've got a Zoe. It's fantastic - simple, efficient, that thing just works.
- joezydeco 3y agoIt's sad, but it's not a surprise. I'm a huge Mazda fan and their first attempt at a BEV was pretty shitty.

I just want normal door handles and a satnav with buttons My mantra through this whole thing is "I don't want an electric car, I just want a car that's electric". I found what I was looking for in the XC40 Recharge, but I realize that's still a really expensive car for this market. I'm with you on a Yaris BEV.
