Most probably lease. I'm #1 on my local dealer list which happen to be one of the 4 in Quebec approved to sell the EV.

Would you replace one of your cars with it or keep it as a third car? Curious if you think the range will have any impact on your lifestyle at all... and curious about how it does in the winter

It will replace the G37 if I go along with the lease. I only use the G locally on short runs anyway. Everytime we have a longer haul, we ususally need to carry lot's of stuff and we end up taking the Volvo anyway. So the Soul would be the local commuter car and the XC60 the long haul, touring vehicle.

I like.

fuel numbers will be interesting vs something more aerodynamic like a Prius but this has some nice capacity.

when the day comes to replace the Fiat, I think we'll go Hybrid or EV
