We have a Cadillac lyriq. It's a great car. It has higher range and is overall a very nice car. We looked at the Mach-e, the audi, the ev6, and Volvo.
Almost every brand has the 7500$ off msrp for buying an electric car right now PLUS other incentives, so I'm not positive it's a great argument for leasing when you can absolutely get the same deal for purchase.
It seems like what the person is trying to say us that with new technology, the car could become a brick. And that's...most likely not true.
DH has a hybrid Dodge Hornet. It’s built on the exact same chassis as the Alpha Romeo SUV.
Because it’s a hybrid, it charges through a standard outlet, so we haven’t added a charger.
Frankly, I’m kind of unimpressed with the electric range, but maybe that’s normal. I didn’t do any research, so I don’t know what’s typical with a hybrid vs. all electric. But I find it annoying when we travel because we spend time finding places to charge when I think we otherwise might not need to if he just had an all electric. The hybrid option is good to have though because we spend a lot of time in the Colorado mountains and it can be hard to find a place to charge.
I think he otherwise really likes it. It drives smoothly, is very quiet, etc.
Since ours haven’t been mentioned - I have the VW ID.4 and my husband just got rid of his 6-year-old Toyota Prius Prime for a RAV4 Prime plugin hybrid. We are a longstanding Toyota family, so getting the VW was weird (not as many options on the market 2-3 years ago). But I haven’t regretted it one bit!
We looked a the RAV4 hybrid and loved it. With the price of gas continuing to rise in CA we decided the best route for all future cars is fully electric. But I see a poster above mentioned not having to fill their hybrid van frequently so I wonder if a hybrid should go back on the table.
Having one of each type for the past 2 years has been an interesting experiment. Any driving under 2 hours from home, and we take the EV. Once we get to 3 hours+, we take the PHEV so we don’t have to worry as much about finding a charger.
But the Prius Prime only had 25ish miles of EV range, and my husband used it for his daily work commute and filled the gas tank, partially, only 4 times a year. However, the EV has way less moving parts and should ultimately cost less to maintain! So it’s really a matter of what will work for your lifestyle.
We have a Hyundai Kona EV and its a great ride with good range. If we'd been ready to go full EV for our second car, we'd have considered another one of them, but we went PHEV instead and got a Prius Prime, which is fine ...

I’m not sure that’s true. The list changed recently, and I was having a hard time finding cars that actually do qualify. Like the Mach-e is maybe only half of that (it seems it may not be anymore even for that), Subaru and Toyota don’t qualify.

We have a Polestar and I love it. So fun to drive ans it's gorgeous. People will ask you about it lol. I have people yelling at me at stop lights about how nice the car looks.
But really it's so much fun. Charging is easy and we have had no issues.
