I am probably going to trade in my car for an EV this year. I have been following the technology for a while but I really do no not like all the touchscreen nonsense.

Do you like your EV? What is it? What are the pros and cons of your experience?

The Ford MachE and the Subaru Solterra are at the top of my list but I like the KIA too.

Bolt EUV. 250 Mile range. I think it's just about perfect except climate control, and at 30,000 it was cheap. Good range, drives like a go cart, all the things you really need while driving are still actual buttons.

As to climate control... The recirculate button light stays on in defrost mode even though defrost always pulls outside air. You cannot use the windshield vents without outside air, which means recirculate has to be in your face or on your feet. The other thing is that somehow the air conditioning vents bounce the air so it comes down on top of your lap/thighs so I have a lap blanket for when it's cold.

I love that it's a hatchback and the seats to down so I can hail stuff too.

One of my best friends has a Volt and they are pretty happy with it. I appreciate the climate control options. Good thing to remember when I am test driving 👍

Just a note in case that wasn't a typo. I am talking about the all electric Bolt, not the plug in hybrid Volt. Though they probably have similarities.

Pretty sure theirs is the full electric, but idk. probably my error. it's a year or two old. I had a coworker that had one of the older 2000 full electric ones and it was cool. I drive it once and would totally take one now.
