without the 500 + range,it makes zero sense for us to own one. Here in the Valley,we deal with the 2-3 year life span on traditional Car Batteries because of the heat. And the EV's here are having issues with battery lifespan plus the Tire wear is double because of extra battery weight.

Neighbors Nissan is only a 100 miler during the Summer, and they have had to do new tires at two years as well as at least on Battery swap out. Believe this is a three year old car.
