EVs are city bound until they can do double the mileage of a gas tank and don't lose significant charge staying warm while parked without a charger in sight. Oh, and they need to be comparably priced to gas/hybrid vehicles in their class.
I say this as a frequent medium to long range commuter living in Moosetopia.

The new Kia Soul is a cool car. There I said it. Deal with it.
NA motor standard. 1.6T 200 HP, 7DCT available. EV available with 200 HP / 300 tq... 650 watt sound system available.
I think it's not AWD though.

AND they can recharge in 10 minutes or less, same as it takes to fuel up a dino-burner.Tarspin wrote: ↑Tue Feb 26, 2019 8:49 pm EVs are city bound until they can do double the mileage of a gas tank and don't lose significant charge staying warm while parked without a charger in sight.

Hopefully it'll get there sooner then later but right now everything we listed is sadly. I want to like EV tech and am seeing a lot more charging stations at public spots like malls and larger plaza/outlet centres all over southern Ontario.
I wonder how much it costs to charge one up fully at home?

The G20 is slowly growing on me but that grill is still a bit whiskey tango foxtrot.
Learning to like Doug will require a bit more work though.

I would miss mine if it hadn't been constantly breaking. But it was a great car before things started going wrong.
