This is a document that I've been working on for a long time. I just completed the first version of it, and still need to go through and refine it a bit, but I wanted to go ahead and put it out there (in this lower profile location) to let you guys take a look and comment on it.
a checklist for the perfect electric vehicle

In particular you all might be interested in the EV subtleties section, a list I've put together over the past 5 years of observing the EV market, owning and driving a Chevy Volt, and test driving nearly every EV out there. You will likely disagree with some of my positions in the document, but I really do not mean to open up debate on it. Really, who needs yet another argument about creep mode? But I did want to make a very complete CHECKLIST of everything to look at when evaluating an EV.
I will soon need to make a decision about what my next car will be, and this list is what I will use to structure that process. I don't expect any car on the market to give me everything, although it's possible and that's why this list is also billed as an open letter to automakers. As it stands, I will need to trade off pros and cons and decide which features I can live without.
Let me know what you think, and thanks!
