On a sidenote, don’t let anyone tell you european EVs are somehow worse than chinese (they are not). They’re just more expensive due to a fortunate lack of slavery, and generally higher standards of everything in the production chain compared to China.

You forget the lovely government subsidies of key industries in China, they subsidize goods for EXPORT. It's why BYD can sell such high quality cars at such low prices.

I'm still rooting for European EVs, but ffs, Mercedes has completely ruined their exterior designs (interior is subjective - personally I don't like so much screen real estate in a car interior, but other than that they still look nice inside), same for BMW. Audi has apparently somehow stayed just as unreliable with their EVs as their ICEs were. Volvo has the EX90 (bigger than I need and quite expensive) and the EX40 and 30 (both too small), but I did just learn that they're going to start making an ES90, which is more my size. I'd prefer a wagon of course, we'll see if they make an EV90 soon, but for now the ES90 is something to consider.

Edit: As much as I hate the front fascia, the i4 might be the car I should be looking at. I prefer lightly used to brand new and their prices are at a nice level now. Equipment is nice too.
