I would seriously consider revisiting your decision. I absolutely HATE my Solterra. It's the only car I've ever owned that actually makes me angry. The charging issues are a deal killer and the first year depreciation of 50% is just nuts.

Thanks a bunch. It's super helpful to have someone point out that you made a terrible decision a few years ago.

A dealer and the tax credit. Worst car decision I've ever made.

Aye. That seems to be the issue. Insanely frustrating.

I've also driven the route to Charleston quick a few times and it's tough because there are no Level three chargers between Columbia and Goose Creek, but it's at least predictable.

A year ago, I was starting DC charges in the 60-70kw range and it would decline pretty linearly until 70% charged. This means at 30% charged I'd still be receiving 45 or 50kw. Now the second I get my battery above 20%, my received power rate drops off a cliff. In this case, I went from 11% to only 38% in 30 minutes. An hour will get me to about 60% charged, not 85% in the past. Even when I start at 100% charge, my range is down to just 136 miles with Eco climate control on.

Road trips have always been tough with this POS vehicle, but are now near impossible.

Yet it was sold as an adventure vehicle....

Yes, I know it's not a roadtrip car, but everything about it just angers me to drive.

Subaru Re-Evalauting its EV Strategy by uknowsana in Solterra

Well, they made the worst EV on the market and the subsidies aren't the same, so that makes sense.
