So I've want to buy a $60K electric Kia...

Thanks for the advice. I wouldn't have the coverage if it wasn't almost free, I would have just stuck with the $1 million. I didn't see a downside to having the higher level of coverage, so your perspective is quite interesting! I may chat it over with our corporate lawyer next week, see what his thoughts are, and if they mirror yours.

That said, we have "no fault" insurance, so you always deal with your own insurance company. Not sure how that factors into the discussion here but if we are talking vehicle collisions, my understanding is that it's pretty straight-forward, everybody just deals with their own insurance company. Where it would be different would be like hitting a pedestrian or something, but I'm not familiar with the regulation on that or if scope of coverage is divulged?

I have a $500,000 umbrella policy that covers both auto and house and brings me to $1M in liability insurance total. Costs like $300 a year. My wife works for a personal injury law firm so we rather be over insured than under.

No, it really just does everything perfectly well. Nothing about it is lacking. The quality inside and out is equivalent to its price range, based on my experiences with Acura, Volvo, and others. Performance is absolutely insane.

What's your average M/KWH so far?

In terms of performance it's really whistling dixie - thats 1 liter bike performance from the 80's and very few poeple have ever been in a vehicle that fast.

Where does it roll over?

Sorry - at what speed does it stop pulling?

It doesnt. I mean, I guess at the 161mph limiter.

so its 0-80 time is identical to its 80-160 time?

No, but I mean compared to a powerful gas car, it is similar. Like the Stelvio QV and it both do 0-60 in 3.2-3.4, and 0-150 in around 24s. I have yet to run a half mile in it. Here is the curve from 0-118 though. Hits hardest 0-60, then a graceful taper.

Here is a Stelvio QV to compare similar gas car.

You found the perfect car, again. How does one person do that?

Glad you like it.

I've been extremely happy with most of my vehicles for their price point, when they came out. What, do you buy the 2nd choice?
