So many brand to choose from here on out, which ev brand are you guys going with?
Still too early but my wife is talking about the established brands such as Tesla and Nissan..
I like it and glad to see more and more selections in the EV world. My wife will do her research soon and probably get one next year but we'll see...how things are in the auto market..
She'll look into the long time players like Nissan and Tesla first and then go from there.
I did asked her if she wants to get one right before we bought our transition car a while back and she said ''no" because she doesn't want to "play the pandemic car sales game" ... ;D
As expected, it came down to the long well established EV brands of Nissan and Tesla after my wife did her research. After some compare and contrast and weighing the pros and cons of both brands, she decided to go with Nissan.
The main reason why she went with Nissan was Elon Musk and his negative behaviors in recent months. My only input during her research phase was, "it's your car so get what you want!"
She's loving her Leaf thus far...O0:

Charging at home is a great way to save money and the prefer method because when on the road, charging cost more and some times, the spots are already taken:

Some charging stations will let you know if there's any open spots, some won't:

Nice! As with my limited experiences, hotel chargers are super slow. Perfect for charging overnight.
-
Thanks!
-
There are free charging stations available too like this one:

If time is an essence, go with a supercharger station, 30 minutes vs. hours but will typically cost more for the convenient. The Leaf comes with a normal charging port (orange) and a supercharger port (black one next to it):

I prefer hybrid over EV...
I looked at some number for the Leaf and it's pathetic...
S model: range is around 146 miles top, charging with a level 2 take up to 7.5hr and 40minutes to get 80% if charging by DC fast charging.
SV model: range top out at 220miles, charging with a level 2 takes 11.5hr and 45minutes to get 80% by DC fast charging.
And it only comes in FWD.

Nice with the dual charging capability instead of carrying around an adapter.

Long range doesn't matter to my wife as that's not her purpose so she was focused at EV with 200-300 mile range to meet her needs. One of the selling points for the Leaf is Nissan's nationwide network of free charger at their dealerships. Even many smaller towns have Nissan dealerships.

They say that slow trickle charging at home is best for the battery's health but nice to have the quick charging option too just in case... O0
-
Congrats 👏. I may go hybrid in the future now that I have an option, E-Ray.
-
Thanks! O0
Yeah, the E-Ray looks pretty nice. I'm sure it'll be a hard choice for some between it and the ICE Z06 due to similar pricing.

buyer remorse yet??
should have just bought a hyrid toyota prius instead
;D ;D ;D

So far my wife loves her pure EV car as it has saved her more money and the inconvenient of going to a gas station because it doesn't need any gas. Just plug it at home and when it's time, plug it again ...just like a cell phone.
After been wanting one for a few years now mainly due to COVID delay, she finally got the car she always wanted from from one of the two long time well established players in the EV community (Nissan and Tesla).
And oh yep, PH's George Santos is still foamy badly from his pie hole due to being "hella jealous" (per the neutral PH members)...
So he can't help but to crawl back to prove me right (AGAIN) but then again, "we all" already knew that:
I ALREADY STOP CLICKUON THEM
