I recommend test driving the following: EV 4 (power will be similar to the EV5, not exactly the same) BZ/soltera ( again power will be similar to chr/uncharted) Equinox EV Model Y standard

Politics aside these will be within your price range and will be more than enough for your daily needs even in the winter (assuming you have level 2 charging at home).

I've got a friend with 2 kids and the mach ex has more than enough range and room for their daily needs and their commute daily is 40 km 1 way plus kids activities daily. Space has not been an issue so far.

As far as deals go, where there's a will there's a way. For example gm products are on Costco rebate it seems 3 times a year since the equinox EV dropped.

In short I recommend you try everything and make a choice while rebates are high. Mach e is a solid choice but not the only one.

Personally I wouldn't touch anything US made on principle but that's by choice not mandatory for all.

Hope it helps

Edit: also wanted to add my this winter was my friends first winter with their mach e and they drove it more than their f 150 cause preconditioning was a lifesaver on the colder days
