Thinking about getting a EV. Just curious why you got yours. The reasons I can think of are:

  • Environmentally friendly 🌵
  • Cheaper Fuel ⚡️
  • They are cool/trendy 😎
  • Lower maintenance 🔧

Is there anything surprising that you found out after you bought it?

    We were retiring and wanted something cheap to buy and run (Bolt). After owning the Bolt we realized that we needed something more roomy/comfortable and faster charging for travel. The ID.4 was what we settled on.

    We were most surprised that we really loved the experience of driving electric. Being eco friendly and, thanks to PV, being able to make our own fuel were just icing on the cake. Charging at home was also a great option for us.

        We really like it. We did consider the Ioniq 5 and the Ariya, but went with the ID.4 because of the tax incentive, otherwise the Ioniq would have won out. After about 3 months and 2k miles, I’d say we really haven’t worn off the newness, so don’t really have the long-term experience. Another plus was the towing capacity vs. the Bolt.
