GATOS Y VATOS posted:The Bolt EV is the absolute sweet spot of distance on a charge, vehicle size, and cost of vehicle. Most others drop one of those completely so I’m hoping that the 2023 model is loving announced before I plop down a deposit on one. I’m pretty tired of seeing EVs being announced that are enormous and/or $50k+ Pretty much my exact opinion. I'd love to get one if they were available (and not marked up to bejesus and back).

Blue is the only acceptable I4 color since BMW feels they must discern their EV models with blue accents all over.

Dunno about now, but the bolt used to be about the same price as a somewhat equivalent niro after taking the tax credit for the niro and the at the time 8k manufacturer rebate for the bolt. I'd probably have taken the niro over the bolt, even before the whole battery fire drama. This was also before they just dropped the MSRP of the bolt as well, but presumably the rebate shrank or disappeared to compensate.

I think you can get the nostrils on the i4 in black, which reduces the visual impact a load. I just crossed 20k km in the Taycan today, it's still totally awesome. Needs a good clean though.

Especially if I could paint the part that doesn't have radar / sensors etc. It looks like the radar is down lower. It's a good looking car overall and I believe quite a good EV!

Yeah after the rebate that Kia still has, they're the same price, but isn't the Niro a lot bigger car than the bolt? I thought that was like a crossover suv thing?

It has been figured out how to enable wireless car play and Android auto on the EV6. https://www.kiaevforums.com/threads/ev6-wireless-android-auto-kia-update-works.2613/ Presumably this works on the Ioniq 5 as well.

They are similar size and spec, but the Niro/Kona EV are a myth in a vast majority of the country, even before supply chain issues.

I've seen some stats suggesting an (electrically heated) 5 minute shower uses 2.5 kWh. Which means that a Model 3 uses about half a shower per 10 km.

I always feel the biggest hurdle to EVs is apartments allowing EV charging. I had an Bolt for about a month, exchanged with a friend. It's fine, but finding charging is surprisingly annoying when realistically, you want to charge by 200 miles. If I always left my apartment with full charge, I wouldn't mind charging on longer trips.

That license plate pops in my memory but I can't place it exactly. I only got the car two weeks ago, but I had the WRECKS tag on my Mazda for a bit. Haven't been to PA in years, and haven't taken the Mazda with tags specifically to Delaware yet. I will be going up to Selbyville this weekend with it, and I'm gonna assume we end up at a Wawa near OCMD at some point.

If you get a locked in price during an inflation, you're basically getting a bigger and bigger discount. More time before they build it = more bugs to be fixed, more aftermarket gizmos, more user experience. The only catch is if the price is indeed locked in. And if you can live with what you have today until then, or find a decent waiting-sausage*. * Norw. idiom, the hot dog you eat while waiting for your burger to be made

How are you even pre-ordering an EV6? All I can find is "wait and hope your local dealer gets the trim/color you want and try not to get price-gouged too badly".
