Great write-up that provides a very real look into the benefits and limitations of current EVs.

I agree - it was very well written and quite the honest assessment.

My friend had a Focus EV for just over a year - his experiences were similar to Greg's except the cold weather penalty was far worse here in Ottawa. He ended up getting a golf wagon like mine a month ago. One of the issues is you basically have to own a place (or rent in a VERY new build) to guarantee a place to charge.
