From the US, for cintext. I have a Chevy Bolt EUV. The main draws for me were the affordability and the fact that the climate control is all physical buttons. The cabin feels like a regular vehicle and not like some technocrat's imagined all screen cockpit of the future. I commute every day with it no problem.
The ride is smooth, seats are comfortable (on the 2023 model, at least), and the sound system is decent. The one downside is the DC fast charging caps out at 50kW. It makes planning road trips a little more involved due to the wait time to charge from 20-80%.
My commute is roughly 50 miles round trip, which leaves me with a little over 3/4 battery capacity when I get home. I just plug the car into a regular wall outlet and charge overnight.
