It’s not EV’s I’m skeptical of hey.

It’s the cars they are making. The evs are all quite expensive and then all new cars seem to be taking the opportunity to tack on all these extra subscriptions and such.

I’m never buying a car where heated seats are bound to my car app account on a subscription like seriously…

Many EV are just wasting too much energy for useless stuff. I love the dacia spring, it so reduced, that it only wights about 1000kg and still has about 200km (33kw motor and 29kw/h battery(my version))

Everyone who has ever reviewed the dacia spring recommends you stay the fuck away. It's a cheap piece of crap, and a death-trap if you ever get in a car crash. Dacias consistently perform terribly in Euro-NCAP.

It is very efficient due to being cheap, yes (what does one expect buying a cheap car?), and is most likely a total wrack if involved in an accident, yes (had it once, luckily not my fault so got a new one for free, lol) So yea, if drive like a idiot and are likely involved in an accident, it may not be for you. It is the perfect car for me, because I live in a EV friendly country and I definitely want to drive electric and I don’t have a lot of money due to having a child since 4 years and being only 27 years old by now 😂
