-The car’s electric range is up to 350 kilometers, or 250 miles. It doesn’t hit the magic 300-mile range that consumers look for.
-An 80% charge can be achieved in less than 30 minutes. The charging port has the old, clip-in flip-out design.

-This is really planted on the road, is fun to drive, is well engineered, and has an awesome interior, but for the above-mentioned drawbacks, may not be the car for every EV enthusiast. There are other cars with more practicality for the same price.
