Having recently shopped for an EV, I did find that there are a lot more options in the US if you’re looking for larger vehicles. It’s a shame because many smaller models exist abroad, they just don’t want to bring them here (e.g. the VW ID.3).

What’s also funny is in many parts of Europe, their idea of a “small” car seems to be very different from ours. I’ve heard people there classify cars like the Honda CRV or the VW ID.4 as “big”.

I own an ID.4 and live in the US. In my opinion, the ID.4 is enormous and handles like a barge. For perspective, I used to drive a Corolla as my commuting car. In hindsight, I kinda wish I would’ve just waited for a current-year Nissan Leaf to be in stock. But, I had burned out on looking for Leafs between dealerships blatantly lying to me and trying to sell me 5+ year old Leafs for roughly the MSRP of a brand new one.
