Electric Cars

'19 Niro EV. Decent car. Love that no one really notices it.

It's been almost 4 years and no issues really.

Will wait out the next generation. I think the F150 Lightning has the package right (a viable emergency backup battery for the home / V2G) and hopefully it will trickle down to more and more electric vehicles. IONIC5/EV6 got close but missed the mark with the 3.6kW cap.

Also, I won't consider upgrading until I can get 350km of highway driving in the winter for around the same price (or the adjusted equivalent when the time comes). Canada is BIG.

Edit: I second @dom (kona owner). Range is crazy good with a heavy bias towards 60-90kph driving in the summer.

I'm a few days late and just discovered this community myself, but I have a Chevy Bolt. I've been driving for Uber while in nursing school, and driving an EV has easily saved me thousands of dollars on fuel costs. I'd say every fourth Uber passenger asks me about it and we end up having a convo about EVs too!

I'm looking at getting an Ioniq 5/6. I want the 6, but my wife wants an SUV so we might look at the 5. 2 things holding me back: the crazy wait times, and the fact that nearly all manufacturers are switching to Tesla chargers, makes me hesitate on CCS cars.

Currently I drive a gas car: 2017 ford focus RS

Currently driving a kona EV and have a deposit on an ioniq5. The range in the kona is usually about 500km in the summer and we've never had an issue, even on road trips.

We aren't in a mountainous area though

Tbh while I'm ready to ditch gas, electric vehicles need to drop in price drastically and companies need to support them long term before Im going to be financially comfortable getting one. Chevrolet dropping both the Bolt and Volt in less than 4 years spells terrible for smaller electrics, sedans and hatchbacks.

What I would really love to see is companies formatting their previously combustion models as electric.

I was planning to buy one soon and then I saw the promo for the new Volvo EX30 - it's exactly what I was looking for and significantly cheaper than the competition. I just don't know when it'll be available in Canada :(

Just found this community myself. I haven't been able to make the switch as I'm far too poor to every buy a new car EV or not. However, GM's eCrate project has given me inspiration to convert my 1965 Chevy K10 pickup into an ev. The potential for plug and play conversion sourced primarily from scrap parts makes it possible for me with my limited time and money.

Model Y Performance. I don't care about the brand, is the best combo of speed and size. I love driving to music events and using it as my tent.

2020 VW e-Golf. Have loved all 40000 KMs on it so far. Only costs over 3 years besides charging battery were new tires wiper blades, washer fluid, cabin air filter and added some weathertech floor mats. Looking to replace my RAM 1500 with an electric pickup in next 3-5 years and keep the e-golf until the battery dies for daily running around. Hopefully lasts 10-15 years.

I have a 2021 Mustang Mach E California Route 1. I'm incredibly happy about it. The longest trip I've taken is to Banff. It's a fantastic drive and only takes 8 hours with charging. I'm very excited to see electric improve.

23 Mach E Premium. First EV and love it. The build quality and features are leaps and bounds over my old pickup. Range is acceptable, but looking for it to improve for future generations.

I’m looking at selling my i30N for an Ioniq 6 in the coming months

My IONIQ 2017 is starting to feel dated. I'm currently looking for a new EV to replace it that won't break the bank! Anything!
