    omg it’s so cute

    As much as I appreciate the charger “nose”, that’s a bad place to have it if you park close to the wall

      Chances are because that’s such a small car, there would be ample space to park away from a wall and still remain within a standard car footprint.

      Must be nice to live in a country where your vehicle working is a more important consideration than your vehicle making you feel like a big boy.

      I know right?? I hate that we don’t have affordable cutie electric cars like that in Europe :(

      I never thought of the nose charger thing, something to consider definitely!

      It’s actually a great place to have the charger, I had a Nissan leaf for a number of years and it’s great not having to worry about the cord reaching when you’re at a public (free) charger.

      I have an ioniq now and the charge port on the back quarter panel is the worst place for it, since almost all pull forward parking spots have a cord that doesn’t reach.

      I have to awkwardly back into angled forward spots if I want to use the charger, and most fast chargers on the interstate aren’t designed for a back end charge port either, so you kinda have to find a very specific angle to get the car parked to charge.

      The middle front works in almost every situation.
