The length of his trip should be roughly the reasonable minimum range for a new EV in 2023. Plus add in a charge port that isn't chademo, and this trip would probably be a lot easier on more modern tech.
I think range should start at 250 miles, while that wouldn't've gotten him there, it certainly would've taken some of the pressure off, as he has the big battery, and that has 220 on a good day. I'm actually looking at getting a Bolt for work, a little smaller than I want, but the price is right, the room is enough, range is enough. I'd buy a van, but that market is being ignored for some reason.
VW is probably gonna have the first EV van with the retro styled one that looks like their old era 60s van.
I like the bolt a lot, but I don't think I'm ready for an EV. The hybrid Bolt makes a lot more sense to me.
Yep, but the rumors are that the idBuzz will start at $60K, and there won't be a cargo version. That last one I think is a bad idea, in Europe there's a cargo version, but they won't be bringing it over here, which is a shame because at the right price point, it'd prolly be a great alternative to the Transit Connect
