Who it is for
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Try before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the EV Plus for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$1,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Narrowing it down
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
