EV buying help (lemmy.world)

Been searching for my first EV and I'm down to an Audi Q4 e-tron or a Volvo XC40. I don't make a lot of money so I'm going to have to lease instead of buy (Q4 leases about 10% cheaper than the XC40).

I've test driven and like both of them a lot - maybe leaning towards the Volvo just for comfort level. I like the Lightning too but dealers on Ohio won't budge and they don't lease well.

Anyone have any feedback on the XC40 or Q4? Pros or cons you can mention from owning one of these?

I also recommend the Bolt. I see plenty of used ones in my area under 20k miles for $15k.

There are a lot of buybacks from the battery recall hitting the market. Odds are, that was the only thing wrong with it (and should be fixed now) but they do have a lemon title. Just make sure it has DC fast charge unless you're 100% sure it'll be a local car only.
