So recently we have been looking at EV's to replace our daily work vehicle. We looked at the BMW, Kia, Chevy, Nissan and VW EV's.
We drive about 100 kms per day and our Honda Element is burning lots of gas and getting a bit old and rough. We looked at a smaller vehicle that could handle some tool bags and still have some comfort and technology.
The Bolt seems to have great range but that really isn't too important as we can charge the car at work sites and at home. Finishing seems a bit on the cheap side.
The Nissan is a non-starter.
The BMW has a lot of tech and seems well designed but a little light on the construction. But has a range extender incase you don't charge it or run out of charge.
The Kia is a bit of a toy for the money.
We went to look at an e-golf but nobody has any to look at. Since we have other VW's, we feel at bit more comfortable with the design and interior finishing. After sitting with the VW dealer, we decided to put a refundable deposit on a Loaded e-golf. We have about 5 months before the car gets here (according to the dealer) so we have this time to review the other cars and see if we find something that really fits.
Range of the e-golf is about 200 kms per charge which seems to fit well. We are not worried about longer trips because we have 2 gassers and 1 TDI (our tow vehicle) which work very well.
I wanted to reach out and see if there are any reviews or feedback on this car.
One thing that we don't have to worry about is an "emissions scandal" or do we?
