Hello Sparky's - I'm trying to justify buying a car I don't really need, but really want here. I'm almost there, though I have some logistical issues in the way, (my landlady seems reluctant to allow me to install a charger in/outside her garage, for one, and a little bit of range anxiety, for two - but I'm working on that).
Part of my thinking is that though the range isn't ideal - literally all my friends and relatives live 50-75 miles away - I'm hoping there will be option in the future to upgrade to a higher-capacity battery that will still fit in the EV. Sounds like they're doing it in the Tesla Roadster, but not sure if that means older ones, or not. Chevy may not have much incentive to do this, as it will take from new car sales, but... could we get lucky? Perhaps the battery going into the Sonic would magically fit the EV? Perhjaps with some small jiggering?
What are your thoughts there?
Thanks!
Eric
