Multimedia and safety technology: 10/10

It's a computer with a 15.4-inch FHD (Full High-Definition) screen.

Practicality: 9/10

With no engine and no (conventional) transmission, there's ample space for storage and the rear seats are flat on the ground. Only thing is the sunroof does not open.

Driving: 10/10

Acceleration is satisfying. No transmission lag, meaning you get the full boost as soon as you pedal down.

Running costs: 10/10

Charging at home means I only pay around $4.00 per 100km. Service is on-demand so no 'fixed' cost.

Reliability: 10/10

No issues so far.
