    Maybe internationally, but people in the US are itching to get good non-Tesla EVs and some of them aren’t stoked about Kia and Hyundai, unfortunately.

        I’m happy since years with Renault - first we got a kinda old Megane, that really was awesome and my wife really had her heart in it

        So, when it was time to sell, because repairs would have cost us more than it’s value, we were lucky that they brought out a Megane E-Tech (EV) and it just really is great
        It could have some higher charging speeds, but it drives like a dream and the power of the e motor is nothing to compare with (well, besides other EVs)

        It’s a rather small car, but it’s perfect for the city and we can still fit our snowboard/skis for such trips.
        And shortly after we got it, we were driving on a highway with a 100km/h in a tunnel. Besides us was a tuned up Porsche and naturally we had a little race after the speed limit was lifted.
        The Porsche driver couldn’t keep up with the acceleration and you could really see his face getting red and more red, because his expensive tuned Porsche couldn’t keep up with our efficient city cruiser

        It’s also great to get by cyclist in the city, because you instantly have the torque you need, and don’t need to shift back and hope to hit the right spot of the engine.
        There is pretty much no latency and…we just fucking fell in love with it

        It’s a really great car and I don’t know, why Renaults seem to be not available in the USA
