I find myself thinking of an EV again and while clearly a Leaf isn't a 'desirable' car it does everything a normal car needs to do and is styled like a Focus. The inside while well spec'd is low rent mind.I’m driving a 2020 leaf .. smaller battery one … the range is absolute garbage
in eco mode with regen brake on, I do well to see over 100miles per 100% charge .. that’s driving not over 55-60mph (as battery drains even faster) which is a bit of a joke (worse in winter)
massive work to do to improve that, it’s been in and checked 3 times .. no faults
99% if the time a 40kw would be ok but theres peace of mind with a 62kw, I'd think a real 100 mile range Vs 150 mile range.
i3 - bit small and quirky
Mini E - 3 door and poor range
Honda E - poor range
208 e - it's a French car, never liked em
Tesla - hate the interior (there isn't one), expensive
Hyundai's - yuck
Kia - yuck
VW id3 - not keen on the interior, expensive......maybe should drive one though.
Everything else is heading to SUV style and I don't like SUV's...........
So imo a Leaf is a normal car but EV. Would love a sports orintatated one like a Leaf Nismo.......there was talk of one with 4wd but nothing.
