Anyone have some good electric cars? (sh.itjust.works)

So I have always hated Tesla and don't like that they've in a lot of way tarnished the name of electric cars. The second you say electric cars every person and their mom says OHH you're getting a tesla! Quite annoying.

Anyways, I'd like to hear from some of you folks some models of electrics you like. I have always been a gearhead deep in the gas and oil, and I still enjoy my cars, but an electric would be fun and a cost savings for me, especially since I have a ton of roof space for solar panels if I wanted to.

It sounds superficial but a big reason I used to hate electric cars is they are for the most part, hideous. Then again, to me, most new cars are hidous, the designs are just not good. But I think i can look past that.

It would also be a huge bonus if there were any models out there with the least possible features. I prefer cars with manual locks/seats/doors and no screen, which is of course impossible with current cars (sadly). But the less digital garbage the better.

My wife has a Honda clarity PHEV that goes about 40 miles on a charge and for the most part she only needs the engine for highway driving day to day.

From an engineering and tech standpoint Honda makes an impressive hybrid system I just wish they had it on the Odyssey. You can get it on the Civic and Accord hybrids.

I'm personally looking at the Pollstar and Volvo wagons since I won't get a Chrysler Pacifica PHEV. But I'm also taking a serious look at the Porsche Taycan as it's essentially a wagon.

The mustang Mach E is actually a decent car, one of my best friends wanted an EV and had not even thought about Ford when I suggested it. He test drove one and took it home that day!

I have also tested the VW id BUZZ and it's great but as a van it's not as good as the Odyssey.

What I want more than anything is Honda to get it's shit together but I'm at 200k and I won't wait forever so one of the above vehicles is going to get my money if Honda won't sell me what I want.

Toyota also makes some PHEVs as well. We've had a Toyota Prime for a few years and it's been fine.

I just don't like the Toyota hybrid. Prius prime was good when I test drove it but the rest are meh.
