It's a full size car. I'm seeing 5.7-6.3" ground clearance, too, and they can be fitted with 20" wheels which may be the reason for the 6.3" or maybe it goes higher?.

I really do like this car. I just wish I didn't live in fear of being side swiped or rear ended by massive trucks/SUVs. Benefits of living in a rural area with lots of retirees.

Notably we also can get snow that shuts the place down in May/September.

If/when you do buy an EV, check the low temperature battery life.

My EV has a heat pump, but still looses a ton of range under 0F-32F or so (which doesn't matter at all around here). This varies widely from brand to brand.

On the other hand, the traction control is eerily good thanks to the computer controlled throttle and instantaneous response from the motor (it is RWD, not 4WD, and performs close our 4WD RAM on mud that is difficult to walk through)
