Sorry to hear your experience. We've had our Bolt for about a month now & finally charged it away from home for the first time yesterday. It was to make sure our fast charge port actually works :) ! Boy, there are so many EVs now, we were lucky to score that dedicated parking space. Maybe...

Thanks Astros. Agree with you on all your evaluations. Aside from us needing another vehicle sooner than later, those are some of the same exact reasons that we decided not to wait on the 2019s. As you were responding on the above, we literally were on our way to pick up a 2018 Bolt. We...

dm33 - Very true about the repairs vs. something new. That's why we've kept this vehicle as a backup until it became our only vehicle 'til the "next" EV. Now, the list is growing longer of things not working and safety is important as I do transport family & neighbors at times. It's been such...

Was hoping our well-loved, decades-old van that fell back into the role of our daily driver would hold out another 6 mths. Unfortunately, it's come to need routine work that'll cost more than it's value. Are the 2019 Bolts arriving in the SF Bay Area? Also considering the 2018 Bolt. How far...

Thank you! Great points & agree. More than pennies & nickel's worth :D Do we trust VW? Golf has a nicer interior than the 2018 LEAF? We've only put a deposit w/Tesla. Did you request/receive your VW one already? Easy?

We considered a used RAV4EV & LEAF, but not the Mercedes B tho. Worried about issues on the RAV4EV as well as the Mercedes B. Any merit on those worries? Do people like their Mercedes B? Haven't got to see the Clarity yet. From comments, it sounds pretty nice, but it might not be the...

Lol, love this forum! Vaporware, Else-Ware, Virtually-Vaporware :D

Re Finman100 - There is a lot to admire & like re Tesla. This did jump out at us when we sat in the Model 3. Is it's design intentionally super sparse on the dash? Seems a little worrisome that so much of the controls are via the screen - what if something happens to it? WetEV - Appreciate...

Wow, the Honda Clarity BEV is a great lease deal. Kinda like the Honda Fit BEV leases. What happened to all those BEV Fits? Are the Honda hybrids improved from back in the days?

Thank you for the suggestion. I like the "... on the same tank of gas..." :) We test drove the fuel cell one a while back. Haven't seen much about the BEV version. Wonder what the price would be in CA.

Thanks for bringing this! We do want a utilitarian car. This & a handful of new EVs are coming in 2019-2020. The time factors are whether we want to try for the full tax incentive on a Tesla or something else in 2018. Article says the Kona BEV might be available at the end of 2018. Checking...

Congrats!! :) So exciting! I wish we had an easier decision. If you have time, hope to see some pics!

Also, nice on the 3 EVs!! :)

Evoforce - Except for the Tesla X, all their other models are lower to the ground. Lower makes the cars sportier, but definitely impacts the ease/comfort of entry/exit of vehicles. Hope you can check out your friend's Model 3; The back doors might be ok for your daughter; Our standard...

Thanks, will check. And w/SL model, the Bose is in the trunk. Did you buy/lease a 2018?

Thanks Evoforce. Definitely appreciate you taking time to share your thoughts! I think you hit the important points on all those vehicles. Wow, you have 3 EVs? Thanks Sagebrush. Do you think there'll be tax credits left by the time the $37k Model 3 is available? Lol, yeah, I never had a...

Thanks LeftieBiker. Will test drive.

I do take a wheelchair regularly, so if the LEAF hatch is the same, will love that. Much points to the LEAF, but the 2019/2020 sounds more future-proofing. We still have the 2011 Blink EVSE on our wall! Not sure if it'll still work/work for newer EVs, but it didn't fail us for almost 6 yrs.

Actually, lucky enough not to need daily commute. Just for taking extended family grocery shopping or for beach/county park outings for hikes (preferably w/big dog in tow) and not having to worry about range. We had the 2011 LEAF, so the 2018 is an improvement. The BOLT's & Model 3's range &...

Hi Everyone, It's been a year+ since we've had our 2011 LEAF. Really miss it & would love an EV replacement. Forgive me as I haven't been in the loop re EVs for awhile! 2018 Tesla Model 3, Nissan LEAF, BMW I3 or Chevy BOLT? Trying to consider all these vehicles' pros & cons for our needs...
