EVs still have major quality problems, and it’s mostly about the software

I just want an EV company to make the equivalent of a shitty Toyota Prius.
A Nissan Leaf?
They're discontinuing it in 2026.
Chevy Bolt EV/EUV
General Motors accidentally made a good car so that's why they had to kill it.
I was pleasantly surprised how good the Bolt was and still liked it after 3 years of leasing it. I was ready to get another one after the lease was over, but the pandemic changed my decision (working from home meant I didn't really need a nice car and definitely wasn't driving enough for the price plus-up for EV to make sense, so I got a used beater).
How did you feel about the L3 charging rate? 50kW isn’t super fast.
Barely noticed it. The only time most people would use that are on long road trips, which I only take about twice a year (most of my road trips are between 100-200 miles one way, which can be done with filling up at the destination). So if I used L3, it was for 30 minutes while grabbing lunch on the road and getting half the charge "filled." 99% of my charging was L2 at home or at destinations.
Which has been discontinued. They have said they'll bring back a EUV for the 2026 model year, but we'll see if that comes to fruition.
I bought one just before the end. No ragrets. There are definitely some software quirks (the rear cross traffic alert always points the wrong direction) but overall I like it.
FYI you can get these relatively cheap from Hertz if you don't mind the base model. Sure it was a rental, but many of them have <15k miles
