I think the newer leafs are good but are limited on range iirc.

I recently bought an EV and he’s what I learned. Get a vehicle with an 800 volt charging system. Lowers your level 3 charging from 35 minutes to 18 minutes.
Depending on what you are doing with the vehicle, 200 range is more than enough for a city commuter.
For long distance travel, the fast charging will help a lot. If you absolutely need range look at LUCID vehicles. Otherwise most people can cope with 200 to 300 range and fast charging.
For the US, used EVs are dirt cheap these days. 20k can get you a vehicle that’s 3 to 4 years old, 25 to 50k mileage, and most are still under warranty.
Charging at home costs about 1/10th the price of gas for me. Plus super convenient.
Chademo chargers are being faded out for US. So a car that charges on a Tesla network is best for traveling.
Most EVs are good, some have software quirks, outdated battery tech, etc. but I would look at Hyundai, Kia, Tesla, Audi, and Lucid as some of the top EVs. Although new Chevy bolt, VW id4, Cadillac Lyric and others can be good reliable vehicles at rock bottom used prices. Also honorable mention for Porsche Taycan which can be found used 35k to 60k usd

Programming@programming.dev•I just tried vibe coding with ClaudeEnglish
2·20 days agoThis sounds on par for all the AI I have been dealing with. I find it works best if you give it a lot of rules, then treat it like a 12 year old and expect wild mistakes for anything more complicated than a simple calculator. I work primarily with Gemini and have it build simple HTML/CSS and it’s infuriating how many times I have told it to use & ; instead of &.
Now every time it does anything, it’s always telling me how it included the correct ampersand. It can’t tell me why it screwed up like 5 times prior, it just makes up some BS and apologizes profusely.
The more rules you give it, even if it ignores them sometimes, the better.

2·21 days agoGot an ID 4. Janky af touchscreen/software, everything else is solid. No complaints other than the software, and apparently past 2023 models this is fixed. Imo it’s a really good car for the price I paid. It hasn’t locked me in the car and exploded so that’s a big bonus.

1·21 days agoUsed EVs are cheap, or they were when I bought mine a few months back.
21k for a 22 ID 4 pro awd, plus 4k tax refund that costs 48k new. Almost zero maintenance, and I pay about 5 cents per mile.
I charge it with a tier 1 and an extension cord.

Since you are in the EU I think Xiaomi SU7(Chinese) might be available in '27. Those are like Taycans but costs about 42k new.
Also if it gets cold, you might want to look for vehicles that can preheat the battery.
Lucid might be us only?
