EVs are the perfect daily, especially for non enthusiasts. Which is most of the population. My girlfriend has a Leaf and she loves it. She never has to go to the gas station, almost zero maintenance and a quiet smooth ride.
I read up a bit on the Leaf and was surprised by the range that it offers, so I would expect that to be a better purchase as the range anxiety won't be as large of an issue
Interesting article, Nico. You raised some good points. I personally think the concept of the electric vehicle is brilliant, but in practice leaves much to be desired.
I recently drove the new BMW IX for an upcoming review. I'd still prefer a gas-powered BMW but the raw and instant power of the electric motor was like nothing I have ever experienced with an automobile.

Agreed, my girlfriend drives the E-Golf whenever she's home and vastly prefers it to the 2005 Toyota Sienna that she otherwise drives
Great article. From what I've heard and experienced the Nissan Leaf (1st gen at least) and ID3 are very similar.

I'm not sure how the range compares with the e Golfs, but my families Nissan Leaf 30kWh has plenty of range for 90% of our journeys

I agree with the EV concept, good idea it just remains to be refined. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the IX!
What about the Zero Bike?
I had never heard of them but they seem to be pretty impressive on paper. I'd like to ride one first
