    Hello my friend, originally from Europe but living in US for more than 26 years pretty much. Anyway, I like the content and the car looks very nice as well as felt pretty stable considering the speed. Although it is not a surprise since these EV are pretty heavy and more stable vs ICE in general due to the lower batteries placed on these EVs which is a plus while handling. Anyway, I made a serious mistake and purchased one EV back in 12/22, a MachE GT Mustang. Pretty price damn thing, and since I was truly impressed with the technology and the fact that “no maintenance” is a bit of an attraction as well as less expensive to operate then I made the horrible decision and got one for $77.200 out the door car. Not sure how much that can be in Europe but that is how much it was here in US at the time. These same cars are little less in today’s market since the demand is NO longer even closer as being a must purchase one, therefore the “consumers” got the idea of what the EVs are all about. My horrible experience start with saying that the advertise range of 270 miles was NOT even near the true traveling distance, or to be more exact is that distance was something along 180-200 truly travelled distances, but keep in mind that “you” should drive at a flat elevation, not much of air or heating as well as acceleration changed. So, I was pretty disappointed that I have to drive about 50% of the full charge battery, meaning 80-100 miles traveled, and then stop immediately and find another charging station as well as wait for at least 25-40 min in order to charge the battery at at least 80 % state since the fast charging it is NOT highly recommended at all, let alone doing it regularly. Therefore a lot of waiting, NOT to mention the waiting for other to charge in case there is a waiting line of people arriving in front of you, and the fact that some charging stations were not working, besides the cost per kWh that these charges would cost “you”. Moreover, I am pretty sure that people got the “message” what is all about these EVs and start distancing themselves from such expensive purchases and returned back to the ICE like I did myself after just one year of owning my EV. I would say this, as much it might be worth to believe, but I used to charge my car daily and that will increase my electricity bill by $20 a day. Therefore multiply that with 20 days of going to work and that will be a total of $400 a month in electricity bill, WHICH by-the-way, that is NOT cheat at all, besides the hassle of charging it diligently and make sure that “you” have a full tank, each and every morning, meaning a full battery ready to go. Not a truly great investment and saving considering these “obstacles” and/or inconveniences. I would say that the EV could be a great investment and transportation for a retired person that use that vehicle not as much as daily going back and forth to work and travel a short distance just to go to grocery or a small distances, BUT NOT for a daily commute traveling to work daily, let alone traveling remotely and of grid in which “you” might have NO charging stations available. Ohh, it is highly recommended to have a garage and keep your EV out of the elements too, perhaps a decent incide temperature that can keep the battery decently warm and ready for the next day travel. Very inconvenient type of worries that can ruin your day and your “vacations” just in case “you” decide to use this vehicle overall. I rather change my oil and do regular maintenance as well as pay for gas, and NOT worry about charging stations besides wait for 25-40 min every 80-100 miles traveled which can become as much as costly as buying a gas, than deal with a humongous bill after 7-8 years of owning this EV and pay somewhere around $20000 for new battery swap too… Also here in US the auto insurance tends to be more expensive for EVs vs ICE due to cost of repairs, etc.. All and all, a VERY BAD choice. I would consider buying another EV perhaps when I retire IF these EVs are VERY cheap, or around $20000 max out the door with a loooooong range vs just 250+ ish miles advertised. Although, I can still keep my ICE vehicle and use it when I need it also, considering that the gas/diesel don’t just “disappear” due to cold/heat or discharge while sitting…, let alone being more reliable and traveling way more than triple of distance of what an EV can do, as my diesel truck in particular without “stressing of next charging station available in ANY areas! Cheers!
