Lots of electric vehicles introduced this year with very aspirational prices and range. Cool if true, but I'm skeptical. We will see.
I could care less about new ev prices. I'm watching the used EV market for a cheap older EV with limited range to putt around town. I don't need it to go 500 miles. Even 100 is enough for my day to day needs.
I can already buy a cheap BMW i3 for under $15k. But damn they are ugly as sin. I also don't want a Tesla. So my options for a used EV are pretty slim right now.
Still, in a few years there will be a ton of cheap EV's with limited range
With Chademo clearly a dead connector, a leaf may be a good bet. As long as the home charger is ok, it seems like a great grocery car. Tho, should be mentioned that a bakfiets would also be a good idea of there's bike lanes between your house and the grocery store.
