    I would love this as a commute car (if it was available in the US). I do have to drive about 80km round trip but it’s only 2-3 times per week so it would be fine. The only caveat would be top speed which would be fine if it’s in the 100 kph range.

      Get yourself a used Nissan Leaf. About the same price, does that range. I’ve had one as a commuter car for 10 years. It’s perfect. Only maintenance is new tires and wiper blades. It’s basically paid for itself in reduced maintenance and fuel prices.

        Yeah I have seriously considered that. Especially since the vehicle I currently have gets about 17mpg… oof.
