Peugeot is reasonable and works. Charging could be faster and WLTP longer, and once I had the screens restart while on the motorway which thankfully did not affect driving but was pretty terrifying. All that to say - go ahead and buy European. You'll have some issues but for me all better than to get a china car with who knows what data exfiltration and hidden issues, or a Tesla that will lock you in when the car burns. EU companies are too boring to spy and too risk averse to have tesla-like issues..
If you don’t want/need a new car, the used car market in Germany is pretty active with EQAs and EQBs.
Former colleague had an EQB and I nearly hit another car on the Autobahn because cruise control was not breaking when I got closer. That was really unexpected as that was a standard feature in my Hyundai...
Not quite an SUV, but maybe fits the same use case?
I checked it out. It seems like the 100th indistinguishable car design in our sea of nearly identical cars.
This to say that the "est" part of ugliest confuses me a little.
