Some of the brands you listed aren't even really available in the US, or if they are that are 100% marked up with tariffs.
Big cars are definitely a thing in the US, but I'd kill for a ~$20k smaller EV hatch commuter to swap out my Model 3.
- klooney 2y agoThe small hatch EVs have generally had ~200 mile ranges, which is a little tough
- SoftTalker 2y agoIf the cost is low enough, compromise on range becomes acceptable. I might buy a small, cheap EV that has range enough to handle my typical daily driving. But if I'm paying Tesla prices, it will need range to handle virtually all of my driving.
- klooney 2y agoI mean, this is the Nissan Leaf- lightly used ones are really cheap.
- darknavi 2y agoThat'd be perfect for me to be honest. We have a Tesla Model Y which we can road trip in. I'm just looking for a slick, efficient commuter. I normally only charge my Model 3 to ~60%, which is ~150 miles of range anyways.
- klooney 2y agoHave you considered a Leaf? They've been around forever, with around 200 miles of range.
