The Small EV Decision

one city car, chosen with evidence

Choose the family's next small city EV properly — shortlist the real contenders, test-drive them, tally running costs, charging, and service honestly — and record why the winner won.

A copy carries over only the public parts you see here — the owners' private files never leave their own vaults.

🚧 Draft — not final. This page was auto-generated as day-one scaffolding for the project and still needs a human pass before it reads as finished. The blanks and placeholders below are intentional — someone who runs this project should fill them in and delete this notice.

Contenders — comparison

The shortlist, side by side, on the facts that actually decide it — not the ones the brochure leads with. Fill from official specs and real owner reports; mark anything unverified so the decision never rests on a guess.

The two questions specs won't answer

  • Home charging: can a charger be installed where we park, at what one-time cost? An EV without home charging is a different (worse) car.
  • Daily range need: the honest daily and worst-case distance — over-buying range is a common, expensive mistake.
