Car to share what you love about the Zoe? My diesel is reaching end of life and I'm considering dipping into EV.

Mine is >5 years old. Never had a problem with it (well, when you know how complex a modern diesel is, and how simple an electrical motor is that's no wonder). Never changed the brake pads although I live in the mountains and drive quite fast at times. Speaking of driving, these things are so nice to handle ! You can be a sporty as you want or you can take it slow, it's always cooler than ICE cars. And then there's the day-to-day price. Rarely go to the mechanic (except for changing tires), charge at home. These things are care-free.
