Bolt ev just got a price drop to 20k. It's not a nice looking car, but would fit 99% of most peoples driving
I love my bolt, but most other EVs are not its size. Only the i3 and the Mini come to mind.
Yeah, but I just mean in terms of a low cost option.
Most people don't need a big car for their around town driving. I have a kona ev and it's not much bigger.
Having said that, travelling as a family of 3+dog was tricky in the kona so we just upgraded my wife's ICE to an ioniq 5
There is also the Fiat 500e. Not many of the original ones I think in the US but a new one is coming.
We have the i3. While we love it and it is by far the best car we have ever had, it is smaller, the looks are polarizing and the range is limited. So even among those it would be a good fit for, there is resistance. It was absurdly expensive new but used are reasonable'ish. And I mean the range is fine for probably almost everyone but you know people are always like, "but what if I want to spontaneously drive across the country?!" as if they will ever do that.
