We're still waiting for the BYD Dolphin here in the UK. A good buy with the
Kia EV6, that is an awesome car with a great range. Well chosen in both cases.
I have bought myself a 2nd-hand 2014 model Nissan Leaf Tekna with a 24kWh
battery, which is a fun city car. Silly cheap to run on cheap rate between
00:30-04:30 - I spend on average about Aœ30 (approx $40 US) per month on
electricity for the commute I make, which is about 10% of what I had to spend
monthly on my "economical" Seat Leon 1.6 TDI.

If you have some static batteries (e.g. Tesla Powerwall) at your house, this
would also be the best time to charge them so you have cheap power during
your peak.

Welcome to EVlution!
