You could sell the mini, take over an i3 REX lease for ~350/mo for the next year, and then decide if EV ownership is for you.
:dat: though I see max was trying to compromise between a decently fun commuter vs. EV and reasonable price for his liking. Those skinny tires though
The I3s REX has the MEATTTS 195s out back and 175s up front vs 155s on the EV all around.

Some areas new bolts are about $23k after incentives to purchase. However I don't know if EV gets you HOV access automatically anymore as CA caps the amount they give out.
Yea my buddy was looking into these vs the leaf. A lot of bait and switch here and I know I may sound crazy to y’all but a bolt to me is seppoku but an I3 is kinda nice.

:dat: seems like the smartest way to go.
Nearly every i3 I saw in Cali had 1000-1400mi/mo left on the lease so no worries about going over

Wife’s das has an I3 REX. It’s ok. Weird car. Drives weird. Range sucks. He hasn’t had any issues with it and it’s a first model year one I think.

The fact that it cucks you to like 55 MPH when the rex engine is on is fucking stupid. And it only carries like 2 gallons or something.

I’d sell the mini if you’re not driving it. Drive the poverty TSX. Re evaluate once supply is restored. There’s no way I’d be looking to :plac: in this market unless my car was literally falling apart. Which mine is lol. Because Ford.

All true, 19+ models have double the range of 14-15
Models. What year is his ?

What was weird driving though ? Just drives like
A toaster to me.

Rex restriction is completely solvable with software.

It’s a 14 or 15 don’t know which.
One pedal driving hurts my brain. It’s impossible for them to drive it smoothly too so it’s a barf machine for everyone involved. We all hate it.

My wife HATED when I did one pedal driving in the Volt. Always complained that it was going to make her puke. That's not an issue for the driver :doe:
