9 months agoRecently had an electric Fiat 500 as a replacement while my car (Mazda 3) was in service and I absolutely loved how it drives. Nice consistent acceleration, immediate reaction to the throttle. Much better than the automatic transmission cars I drove before. 3 problems though:
- range (duh): I often need to drive for 280km in one go, vast majority of EVs can’t do that reliably (with AC and going 130km/h). If you can survive a day on one charge it is awesome though: plug it overnight and you’re ready to go in the morning
- the price of the car (it felt waaay too simple and plastic-y inside compared to 30K euro price I googled)
- big brother software on the headunit, although there is no escape from it with any new car these days
Nope. Where I live employees’ salary is included in the food prices.
