The big surprise for me with the non-Tesla electric cars is that they're not even that much cheaper, if at all than a Tesla. The e-golf is apparently around $30k, when for $5k more you could get a TM3 with 100 miles more of range. The Chevy Bolt is closer in both range and price, but you don't get supercharging, and a much crappier interior.

You can get them used much cheaper. A used Leaf, e-Golf, whatever, can be had for as little as $10k. Teslas don't lose value like that. I'd definitely consider a used cheap EV as a second city car.

Yea that’s the thing, if you have $40,000 to spend on an electric car it would be insane to not get a Tesla.
