The Under the Hood

Dear Motor Medics, With all the choices of electric cars on the market today I have started to take a closer look at them. I’ve looked at the different models and the available incentives that have recently come into the market and have decided that an EV may be the right choice for me.
I have narrowed my choices down to two different models based on their range and their price point. The first one is a Ford Mach E and the second is the Hyundai Ionic.
What have you seen in terms of the reliability of these two cars and being that I only have a 20-minute commute each day, do you think that an EV is the way to go for me?
Janell in Canby, Minnesota Dear Janell, A new car is a big step for anyone let alone changing from a internal combustion vehicle to an electric.
There are many things to consider when making the first step to EV ownership. You have looked at the range of cars, which is very important but driving only 30 miles a day for a commute can be done by most any EV.
Have you considered where you are going to charge it? The other thing is, do you own another vehicle? If this will be your only car then map out a long road trip and the places to charge along the way taking into consideration the time to charge.
These are important starting points.
Take care, The Motor Medics
