My First Electric Vehicle Experience

I just got an '22 EV6 GT-Line AWD First Edition. Originally, I was looking at more affordable options like the Bolt or Leaf, but I stumbled upon this car coming off a lease at a local dealer.

I’ve had a variety of cars before, from a VW GTI which I loved, to a Camry Hybrid and a Honda Fit. The EV6 has brought back the excitement I felt with my GTI, thanks to its quick acceleration and modern tech. I’m always finding reasons to drive it. For those considering one, patience can really pay off as these cars depreciate.

Nice find in the used car market. I have a Yacht Blue, but the First Edition Yellow really stands out.

Thanks! I actually prefer Yacht Blue, but I couldn’t pass up this opportunity. My wife and father-in-law aren’t fans of the yellow though!

The yellow looks really sporty with the black front valance.

@Lex
Maybe you should get a second one in blue! Just joking.

Initially, I wasn’t keen on yellow, but it’s really grown on me over two years. Now I think it’s the best color.

It sounds like you’ve come to appreciate it over time!

@Lex
I love yellow but can’t find it on their website. Is it still available?

Congratulations on your new car! The yellow looks great.

With how quickly EVs depreciate, I might just return my lease early and buy one from the lot.

Now’s a good time, while most people are still wary of used EVs.

That’s an interesting color choice.

It’s a special First Edition in yellow. They also had a green one with a tan interior in 2023.

I didn’t know they made it in yellow until recently. I really want the green one though.

I love my green car.

Green has always been one of my favorite car colors. If a green EV6 shows up as a lease return, I’d be very interested, though they’re pretty rare.

@Eli
They only made 1000 in green.

That’s tough, better chances than yellow but still hard to find.

I love my yellow one too. It’s easy to spot in a crowded parking lot.

Great choice. I had a similar experience with my first new car, a Rabbit GTI Mk1. The EV6 reminds me of that joy.
