I'm also up for a new EV in December 2017. About a year from now I may be getting the BMW i3 Rex (2017 model) with 50% better battery (90-150 mile electric range? ) and of course the gasoline range-extending generator. That would be my wife's car, to replace her diesel wagon. If she hates it, or it is unreliable, I get to drive it after my B-Class ED goes back on lease return. The BMW i3 is extremely sporty and fun to drive, VERY LIGHT. Otherwise I would consider the Tesla Model 3, (used) Tesla Model S ? , 2nd generation (2018 Model Year) B-Class ED, and that's about it, unless Tesla re-worked the Model X without Falcon Wing Doors. But those Model S/X cars are $90,000 with all the good options. Maybe the Tesla Model 3 will spawn a variant that is an SUV/Wagon. But that could be 2020 or beyond. I would not consider a Chevy Bolt or Volt, even though they seem like good designs. It's a brand thing. Same with VW, I wouldn't buy one, although that Bulli EV concept looked amazing.
I'd like my next EV to have AWD. (Dual motors) -- I think eventually the best EVs will have 4 motors, one for each wheel. Less stress on each motor.
