Thanks for the detailed comparison and the video. It really helps to see the differences laid out like this. I’m leaning towards the e-Niro for its performance and features, but the ID.4’s robust build and infotainment are tempting too. Decisions, decisions!

Perhaps those figures are inflated by the fact that I reside on a hilly island with excellent regenerative braking.

It’s hilarious since the ID4 just displays a green line, the dashboard displays the number of free kilometers you are earning when you take your foot off the pedal, and when you brake slightly at a particular speed, the ID4 recovers 4-5 kilometers of range.
