    EVs are such a mess in North America. Unless I want a Tesla it feels like I can only get gigantic SUVs or expensive luxury cars.

    I just want to replace my Mazda 3 with an electric equivalent

      I was so excited when I heard Mazda was making an electric vehicle. But what they made was a joke, not even 100 miles on a charge. I also want to replace my 3 with an electric of the same size.

        I understand what they were going for. Batteries are heavy, so keep the car light and nimble and completely impractical as anything but a local commuter.

      • Renault Megane E-tech Electric
      • VW ID.3
      • Volvo EX30

      And there’s quite a lot more brands with EVs in that size bracket coming out in the near future
