Btw, if I would be shopping for EV, I would give Kia Soul EV a serious look. It should be out this fall and it looks very interesting option, plus it looks nicer then anything in this price range.

That true and I lived there. Do you think it's enjoyable? Not really. In comparison to US space at a premium, gas is expensive, cars are expensive that's why most people are forced to deal with it by going small on everything. If they could afford it they would go bigger like we do here in the...

I don't think we travel heavy, only essentials, clothes, food in a small cooler and a few toys. Didn't even bring any large items like bikes. We have 4 month old, so we have to carry a stroller with a bassinet which essentially takes entire trunk space in Leaf & Volt. I can't imagine going for...

I take it you never went camping or traveled overnight anywhere with your kids? It's not just a stroller... The car is fully packed for a two night trip and it wasn't even camping trip, for that I have to get cargo box. It's a stroller, a couple bags with clothes, toys, cooler.

Yeah, my wife was right two times, when we first got Leaf and then Volt that eventually we'll need a bigger car. The point is once kids (multiple) in the equitation, don't bother with small cars. Yes, it was fine for commuting to work, but weeknights and weekend outings had to be done in a...

Don't like minivans and don't really need that much space for 8 people, I just needed a bigger cargo area for strollers and bags. MPG don't matter much when you have short commute, but convenience starts to matter. Actually I was planning to get outlander phev but it was delayed so hoping in a...

Don't get none of the listed options. This is coming from someone who owned Volt and Leaf who had a baby then a second one and eventually moved closer to work. Ended up getting a family mover... Suv. I still prefer small efficient cars but when you have two small kids even for day trips those...

Well, what a bummer. My lease on Volt is coming up and I was thinking for something new for Leaf, but now I am looking forward to Kia Soul EV.

Basically, when we have an affordable (below 35k) around 200 range electric I would revisit them, until then I will have to "suffer" with the plugins. At this rate perhaps 5 years?

I had the same feeling after owning Leaf for a while so traded in for Volt when I had the chance without much loss and since then the feeling is gone. Volt is perfect transition to the future of electric world without the stress and anxiety that comes with fully electric car.

I am going through similar dilemma with lease nearing the end, but I think the options are limited at least if you want something larger and efficient for family of 4. I was really counting for a bigger plugin available by now such as Outlander PHEV, but it's delayed now... I heard that you...

Hopefully would be better then a puny solar panel on Leaf.

Anyone knows if it's possible to to extend lease on Volt?

I am planning to put my Blink unit for sale, so I was wondering if there is some process that I need to follow since Blink was purchased by another company?

How did I miss this. I disconnected my Blink unit 4 month ago during the move and no one from Blink bothered to ask me why yet... now I know.
