JAC Motors, a Volkswagen-backed Chinese automaker, unveiled the first mass-produced EV with a sodium-ion battery through its new Yiwei brand. Although sodium-ion battery tech has a lower density than lithium-ion, its lower costs, simpler and more abundant supplies and superior cold-weather performance could help accelerate mass EV adoption.

I really wish the VW ID.3 was sold here. I have an ID.4 and love it, but it is too big for a lot of folks
I didn’t know the id.3 is not available there. it’s crazy! I think you’ll get the fiat 500e, though. in Spain I see a lot of peugeot e208 and fiats
Hopefully the Fiat gets released here. There is also the electric Mini and the Leaf, but not a ton of options for small EVs.

I don’t know if it’s AWD, but I’m excited for the Fiat 500e coming to the U.S.
I love my Bolt. It’s cheap, small, and has great range. Not AWD but it does fine in winter thanks to the weight. I’ve had it for 3 years now.
I hope they release an updated Bolt with a little faster charging. It is great as a city car, but for folks that want to do longer trips 50kw is a little rough.
I haven’t had any issues with taking it on roadtrips. After 5 hours of driving, it’s nice to stop for an hour to stretch while it charges.
Fair. I’ve done road trips in a car that charges at 120kw and that seemed about as long as I would want to wait (about 30 minutes if it is super low).
The breaks are for sure nice though. I’m always surprised how less tired I am in long trips thanks to the charging breaks.
