Officially revealed is the Mercedes EQA, the smaller crossover on the EQC platform.

66.5 kWh battery, about 500 km/300 mile range, and €47,000 starting price are the figures to know.

Lol it has 188hp and is slower to 60 than a leaf.

it appears to be priced against the ID.4 but is worse in every way other than perhaps the badge, what am I missing here?

My Kia dealership took over 3 months to send the purchase info to NC DMV to get my license plate. I had to get a second temporary plate because the first one expired. And that was in 2019 so there's no Covid excuse, they are just slow.

Got a call. The delay in the IRS income verification has persuaded the rebate people to extend the deadline.

drat, didn't know the id4 was already taking preorders. Does anyone have a clue what "Mid-2021" availability actually means? YOLOsubmarine, do you have an estimated date or anything? I'm going to need a new car in May, or June at the latest, so if it's actually August or something, I'll probably have to look harder at other options.

The pre-order was basically just hold a spot in line. So far I haven’t received and order guide or estimated delivery date or anything else. I believe some First Editions have been delivered but the AWD model was going to come later in 2021 after they delivered First Editions so I expect it’ll be the second half of the year before I get to finalize my order and get a production date.

Kyle from Out Of Spec posted a video about their cannonball run in Taycan using only EA chargers.

https://youtu.be/IFg8LaZFqYE

They bested the previous record set in a model 3 by 50 minutes.


Had they not experienced all the charging problems they probably would have gained another hour.

If EA had any sense they should have told them the direction to a non existant charger.

Maybe priced against the ID4 but with that tiny trunk it looks more ID3 sized.

Kind of disappointed the new Kia Sorento Hybrid isn't a plugin.. also not available in AWD.. and why 2nd row captains chairs only? Hopefully by 2022 they have some good EV/PHEV options to trade in my 2016 sorento for.

No (they'd need a new panel for the new meter no matter what), it's even worse, they're charging them $1500-$5000 to hook the same service drop up to a second meter, about 15 minutes of work and three new splices, because PG&E are run by literal criminals.

CPUC complaint submitted. I bought a plug-in hybrid, not pure electric, and gas is cheap, so I'm happy to wait out the complaint process.

Good luck, sounds like it could be a chore to deal with, knowing Pg&e. What did you get?

Toyota's website won't even let me play around and configure one for giggles, it's just essentially "Extremely limited quantities" and get bent.
