i would love for my next car to be an EV
It doesn't need to have 1000km range, or edge to edge touch screens, or anything fancy
Give me something like a subaru impreza, with 300-400km range, and a sunroof.
Give me a Honda fit but electric and make my landlord give me the ability to charge it. Some fancy tech would be nice, but I drive a used economy vehicle for a reason
I think you nailed one of the biggest but least talked about factors in mass adoption. I'd love to get an EV, but the only used ones I could reasonably afford would require daily charging as I'd use well over half a charge per workday and I have nowhere to charge at home or work.
Me too. Like, I drive a shitty ice, but I’d consider a decent upgrade in vehicles, only for an Ev and only with somewhere to charge it. Like, that’s one of the major reasons my wife and I are thinking of switching to renting or buying a house at the end of our lease.
And people like us are necessary for adoption. We’re the “yeah but even they have one and like it” people
I'm still tempted to do a diy conversion to get specifically what I want and nothing else. I have to get my money's worth out of my bike too though.
i saw someone who moded an olschool subaru brat into an EV. Said he put a... Leaf battery and motor in it. Was really cool to see!

The bolt ev and euv is an amazing car I love it and it fits your criteria.
The Bolt was discontinued after the 2023 model. But hey you can buy a new EV Chevy Equinox now starting at $55k >_>
Good news they recently announced they are continuing with a 2025 bolt ev and a 2026 bolt euv.

This is fantastic. I need a new car but wasn't in as position to buy a Bolt when they were available. I can hang on for another year or so until the new EUV.
