The range thing is weird, because it’s simultaneously too little for your use case, and too much for mine. What I want is a shorter-range (like 200 km/125 miles would be perfect, it gives enough buffer by being about double the max range I’d ever need in practice) that saves on upfront cost and weight by having a smaller battery that can be my household’s secondary city car. But as-is, there’s no EV that’s cheap enough to justify buying as a cheap, low-range city car.

So instead of my household having one EV and one gas car, we’ve got two gas cars.

Leaf? At least around me used ones are super cheap, although it looks like the new generation might change things up a bit

I dunno, like it might be the best option if I was set on an EV, but it feels like it has a bigger battery than necessary rather than just having a smaller battery, including a heat pump on the base trim, and not air-cooling the battery. (And chademo is pretty unappealing, and lack of AWD is a downer.)

All-in-all, it feels like a lot of compromises compared to our current second car. (A 2019 Impreza hatch.)
