    I just leased a Kia Niro EV last week. My entire purpose was to even see if EV's were for me, and to use it for my commute (70 miles round trip).
    I've only had it 4 days and I love it. It serves my purposes for city driving and commuting. Fortunately, there are a lot of FREE EV charging stations and even more paid charging stations (who wants to pay for that?) So I have a lot of charging options. I'm currently checking out if I want to install a home charger for convenience.
    So far, the car has pretty good acceleration, is a bit stiff on the power steering, but overall is like driving a giant golf cart which I enjoy for city driving.
    Also on the plus, the interior is a lot roomier than my double cab, so I don't feel like I'm stuffing the two car seats and kids in the back seat.
    Oh and I got a killer deal since they are clearing out the 2020's. $200/mo with$200 down plus a boatload of discounts and rebates. If I hate the car in the future or get tired of finding free charging stations, I'll just return the car and I'm not out a whole lot of money.

    You didn't find it too small? When I tested it, it just seemed cramped compared to my little wagon.

    No, not too small for me. I'm 5'7 and a chick, so maybe that makes a difference?
    I also haven't taken it on a trip more than 15 miles though, so time will tell.

    It is obvious that electric cars are the future in this industry, either you agree with it or not. By 2025 20% of all new cars sold globally will be electric, according to the latest forecast. While batteries do run out, which means they will need replacement after a few years, electric vehicles are still cheaper than petrol or diesel cars. Electrical motors have much fewer parts than fuel-based engines, which leads to less wear and tear, so they'll require less servicing and repairs cost less. All the things and many others I learned reading the article from https://cararac.com/blog/we-analyzed-214-electric-vehicles-here-s-what-we-learned.html, therefore I believe that it is important to have this resource, especially if you want to buy an electric car.
