The US already lags far behind China and Europe, but we're going too fast, dealers say.

    I’m holding out for a proper hot hatch. Something like a VW Golf or Mazda3. Leaf is a bit too small.

      I was hoping Volvo would make something like this, but I don’t know what they are doing now and realized they costs way too much …

        Volvo acquired Polestar and they have some good EVs, but nothing small or cheap yet. Small, cheap and funky - that’s what Fiat is doing right now.

          I might consider fiat now that I don’t have to worry about how small the engine bay is.

          With the new 500 estimated to start around $35k in the US, Fiat lost “cheap”. Super uncompetitive at that price though, we’ll see what happens.

          Can get a nearly new Polestar 2 for that. The $650/mo insurance bill killed that idea for me though.

      Didn’t Hyundai announce the Ioniq5 N edition? It’s more like a 600hp thing though, not a 200hp golf kinda thing. More race car than hot hatch.
