1217 - EVs

My curiosity about EVs is growing day by day. It's not necessarily just EVs sold here, but the other EVs I've been reading and seeing on social media. These are the EVs I'm interested in.

  • Renault Twingo - There's something about small EVs that are mainly for daily driving in the city that I find very interesting, and the Twingo combines the practicality of an EV, the small size of a practical daily driver, and the looks of the Twingo.
  • Dacia Hipster - I think the Hipster is still a prototype, and I much rather prefer the new Twingo because of the more spacious trunk. Still, the Hipster seems like a small, decent sized daily driver.
  • Kia PV5 - Now this is very interesting. It's cheaper than the VW ID Buzz and maybe more spacious? The PV5 seems like my ideal family vehicle, except for the fact that as far as I know, it's only a 5-seater.
I just hope the time when EV batteries and replacement parts are more affordable, and hopefully more EV options are available here in the Philippines. I honestly wish I could eventually get to drive, or own, one.

Out.
