Many years ago, we went to see the BMW EV i3 and we couldn’t believe the not so attractive looking car cost $50k. We’ve never looked back. Here in Silicon Valley, BMW has always been a status make as well as Mercedes, quite a lot of people who couldn’t afford the car New would buy it Used since the resale values are plummeted so much, it’s not because of the looks, it’s the reliability. Our e-Golf has never give us any problems since model 2015, 2017 and now 2019.
