Just for fun, let's talk about EVs that you've spotted in the wild here. Don't count cars you've seen at a dealership or car show (too easy), but ones actually out being used. For reference, I live in the SF Bay Area in California, so I definitely have a bit of an easier time, though I don't drive all that much.
Frequently Seen - I see these quite regularly (often times multiple in a day)
Frequently Seen - I see these quite regularly (often times multiple in a day)
- Tesla S, 3, X, Y -- too damn many here in the Bay Area
- Chevy Bolt
- Nissan Leaf
- Kia Niro, Hyundai Ioniq (not 5) - I think I pass by these pretty often, but they're so normal looking that I don't notice them
- VW ID.4 - every one of these I've seen has been the dark blue (I think it is the best looking one too, so it's not surprising)
- Ford Mustang Mach E
- Porsche Taycan
- Polestar 2
- Audi E-Tron (fat E-Tron) - A neighbor has one of these, so I actually do see it pretty frequently
- Ioniq 5 - I expect to see this more as time goes on, but I've only seen one on the road so far. I did see a bunch at my local Hyundai dealership
- Tesla S Plaid - Seen once on the highway, and once at my office. Probably passed by a few more of these and just never noticed
- Mini-Cooper EV - Again, probably passed by more, but looks too much like a normal Mini to notice.
- Rivian R1T - Saw one being delivered on a flatbed last December. Also saw one recently at a park in Palo Alto. My wife was quite excited to see it, as we have a pending R1S reservation. This was before the price increase (and decrease)
- Lucid Air - Saw one parked at Pebble Beach Golf Resort's CCS charger. An older gentleman was trying to get it to charge. I didn't want to disturb him, however, so I didn't approach
- Audi E-Tron GT - I think I saw one, but I don't quite remember (I get it confused with the Taycan sometimes)
- Tesla Roadster - Many years ago, someone at my office had one of these, and I saw it regularly as it was just one of two EVs there.
- Tesla X Plaid - Probably passed by a few already, but didn't notice
- Kia EV6 - Expect to see more of these soon
- Rivian R1S - I know there's at least one in Palo Alto being driven around
