In good conditions, the new 500e, supposedly has a driving range of 190 miles. A additional 30 mile range, with just a 5 minute recharge. When put into its city mode the range, its a lot higher. Mini just introduce the new Mini e. Really poor driving range, for its price. Lowest of the group.Personally, I won’t buy any EV with less than 150 mile range and very much prefer more than 200. We are rural and, while we are retired, our need is for a good bit more than 100 mile range. A round trip just to our daughters home is 200 miles and if only a day trip wouldn’t leave much recharge time, especially on 120v. My thoughts are an off-lease Bolt in the near future if prices are reasonable. Not going to spend more than $20k on whatever I buy! If that means no EV, so be it.
I have been following it on both Facebook and the forum at their site.The Aptera is supposed to have a great range but it has not been manufactured, yet (still hoping since I think it is so cool looking). Aptera. Aptera Motors - Facebook. Aptera_Motors - Facebook (two different groups with similar names)
