EV Channels Review
This episode of Battery Bargains tackles three distinct EV buyer dilemmas. The first case involves a user in Australia needing an AWD vehicle with significant ground clearance for rural roads, with suggestions including the Subaru Solterra and Volvo XC40, and even a mention of modifying a Tesla Model Y. The second case focuses on a user needing a large, reliable SUV for two big dogs and a decade of ownership, with recommendations leaning towards used Audi e-trons, Kia EV9, and Tesla Model X due to long-term support. The final case presents a user seeking a smaller, sportier EV with over 300 miles of range to replace their Ford Mustang Mach-E, highlighting the inherent trade-off between range and handling, with suggestions like the Polestar 2 and BMW i4, while acknowledging the difficulty in finding a perfect match for both criteria.
