Two new e-cars on my street.

The first is the Hyundai Ioniq 6. Pretty snazzy. It is a 5 seater. I talked to the owner and he gets better than the EPA distance rating per the EPA. It is priced well for its ilk.

The next is a Chinese SUV. Named for the company's owner, first name. WEY 05. This one costs more but not too bad even with the EU tariffs on Chinese cars. Pretty delux set up. By Great Wall Motor. The article says plug in hybrid. I couldn't see an exhaust pipe when I walked around it. This is what Tesla is competing with in Europe even without his other issues. Tesla is falling behind.
