This is a great car. It has great range, and if you get somewhere and dont have enough juice to get home, it has a little gas engine that makes enough electricity to run the car and get you home. You can always get more gas. It has lots of get up and go and actually can get all of your errands done all over town and still get you back home. I love this car!!Jun 26, 2024

Great features for the money. Fun to drive. Affordable EV option with the range extender. I couldnt afford a newer EV or the range anxiety of a full EV without the range extender. Feb 27, 2022
