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.

I bought a used Leaf over a decade ago for around $12k. It charges off a normal charger. I've gotten new tires, but that's about the only money I've spent on it. It only goes about 70 miles on a charge. I have another vehicle for when I have to drive any real distance, but for the life I live, I can go weeks without even starting up my other car. One of the few purchases of my life that I have 0 regrets buying.

my coworker has a Leaf and he loves it except for the range. I'd consider one but my wife already ruled it out
