Currently looking into cars right now. I have a 17 VW GTI Sport. I have a commute of 50 miles in a day, and right now with gas prices, its costing me like $40 a week its nuts (yes I use premium, yes I know I don't have to, etc etc, its still damn high). So I started thinking about EVs.
Started doing a bunch of searching. I originally had a Mazdaspeed3 and got the VW GTI because I wanted the same thing again, but with ...lets say a little more luxury in it. Nice soft leather, more technology, automatic. VW GTI hit the spot. Price wise, cost of living wise, looks wise, gas mileage, speed, all of it worked.
So I'm lookin at EVs, and ...as this video pointed out, they are 100% absolutely not for me. They do not have hatchbacks most of them are SUVs with a few sedans...only really the Mach-E sort of fits, they cost too much, they damn near require you to own your home or be able to add a charging plug wherever you do live, the infrastructure sucks...like it's just not feasible. I want to have an EV. I seriously want to give some car company my money, stop relying on oil, help my planet and myself but its like...do I want to drive some car I don't really want (Chevy Bolt) just for that? I feel like I'm going to have to make a mental change. I am deeply in love with my VW GTI, its like they made that car specifically for me and me alone, and I'm not feeling that anywhere. I'm going to have to let that feeling go, and I wish I didn't have to. I started looking into hybrids and ....its not looking good either. Yet again I'm stuck being in this spot where nobody cares about my itty bitty demographic and it sucks.
Maybe I'll just leave my car in eco mode and call it a day.
