Rented an EV (in Germany) and got the ë-C3. First time EV’ing, so I clearly don’t know what I’m talking about, but:
- got 200-220km on a full charge (when a bit of motorway was involved
- EVs are clearly not built for speed, but the C3 made it to 134kph indicated (specs say 135, so they’re at least close there)
- handling was cheap-SUV-like
- equipment sparse (like rain-sensor wipers seem to be standard on all (other) cars today)
- hard to judge the size when parking in close quarters and the proximity sensors are (as always) overreacting (though this is probably not a long-term issue)
- roomy in the front at least
- sound system decent
(For a French car, it took us a while to find the cigarette lighter (for charging purposes). Spoiler: it’s in the back)
There’s USB-C. I’m a little worried about connecting my phone to a USB-C port I don’t own. Tin foil hattism, I didn’t duck any stars for that.
