Rode for hours with my sister in her brand new Rivian pickup truck over the weekend. I’m sold now on getting an electric car next. The Rivian is really really nice. But why don’t have a model that isn’t fucking huge? The energy efficiency is wasted on all that mass.

Anyhow, what are the better car-sized #ev models out there these days? #electriccar

@beckett In the U.S. market, Nissan Leaf, Chevy Equinox EV and Bolt, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6 and Kona Electric, Kia EV6 and Niro EV, Volvo EX30/40, Ford Mustang Mach-E. Moving upmarket: BMW i4/i5, any Polestar model, Lucid Air.

There are others out there too, those are just the ones I would suggest someone look at first 😀

@jalefkowit @beckett MINI Cooper Countryman SE is a small SUV built in Germany and pretty nice. Sadly their two hatch models are made in China and not available in the US because of tariffs.

I’ve been driving the MINI Cooper SE (now discontinued) for five years and love it.

@puppethead @jalefkowit @beckett There's a new Chevy Bolt, too (but GM says it will only be produced for 18 months). https://www.chevrolet.com/electric/bolt-ev

@jalefkowit @beckett the Kona is notable for having a fair number of physical buttons, instead of being damnably all-touchscreen like a lot of current cars
