Humdrum is at the garage to get her exhaust leak and her fuel overflow issue fixed, so I walked down to the local library. There’s some sort of EV demo outside being put on by CAA....a Kona EV, Bolt EV a a Model 3.

Kona EV is cool....it’ s just a regular Kona with a different grill and quiet, lol. I am not a crossover person, but the Kona is one that I actually like.

The Bolt is the first one I’ve seen in person, I must say, it’s not amazing-looking, but I think it looks a lot better in person than it does online for a little EV hatchback. Not bad!

I stood by and listened for a few...the people doing the demo seemed nice, but I don’t think they knew a HUGE amount about the cars they were talking about....just farly generic info: (about the Model 3) “Yeah, the batteries are under the seats” was about the most technical thing I heard the fellow say.

Good on them for trying to spread EV-ness though.

Naw, wouldn’t have minded to...seems like a ‘walk up’ sort of demo, but wasn’t sure I’d have time to stick around for the whole thing. Just sitting here on my laptop listening to tunes right now....maybe I should go back out, haha!

I don’ t think I’ve seen a Kona EV. I saw that weird Marvel superheroes trim on display at Walmart and that’s about all I needed to know. It was a pretty terrible take on a good little car.

I see Bolts occasionally. They’re not at all sexy but they’re not bad looking. Just uncool in a dad-in-a-polo-shirt sort of way. You won’t be impressing anyone but neither will a Leaf and those aren’t as good looking.

I prefer the Kona by far of the 3. The Kona EV looks exactly like a normal Kona with more of a non-grill grill, if that makes sense, haha!

Kona EV:

Honestly that’s better looking. Not by much but it is something different. Is it AWD?

By the way, these look as stupid as you might imagine in person

I prefer the styling of the non-EV version, personally....the EV one looks a bit TOO bland at the front...
