Hi folks,

Just found this community and curious about what everyone is either using as a daily driver or have got their eyes on in the EV space.

I'm from Vancouver, and a few years ago my partner and I bought a new Chevrolet Volt PHEV as a "bridge" car to get us through the next while as charging infrastructure scales out. We get about 100km of electric range in the warmer times and 70km in the winter. Perfect for our needs around Vancouver, while still giving us flexibility to drive out to Whistler or Banff for our vacation roadtrips.

So what are you driving?

My partner and I love our Golf and GTI, but want to get an electric car. Unfortunately VW isn't bringing the ID.3 to North America. Any suggestions that might feel similar in size and driving? We don't really want an SUV :(

Well the most obvious one-to-one comparison is a Chevrolet Bolt (subcompact hatchback). Unfortunately Chevy has discontinued new production. Have you looked into it as an option?

I hadn't considered it for some reason. I'll look into it, thanks!
