Today gas is relatively cheap and all the buzz about the next-generation electric cars with their 300+ mile driving ranges, may keep you from buying an electric car today. While the Chevy Bolt has been a game changer thanks to its 200+ mile range and more accessible price, there are some draw backs, like its cheap feeling interior. If you don’t need to travel 200 miles in one day or maybe even two days, there may be some better options available, like the 2017 Volkswagen e-Golf. If you’re in the market for an electric car, here are five reasons why the e-Golf should or shouldn’t be on your shopping list:

Like so many other electric cars, the 2017 Volkswagen e-Golf isn’t available in all 50 states. Right now you can only get it in the 10 zero emissions states, plus Washington D.C., so if you don’t live in one of the west or east coast states in the U.S., you won’t be able to buy or lease an e-Golf. Even with its limited availability, VW sold 4,000 e-Golfs in 2016 and that number is expected to grow, but unfortunately VW has no plans to offer it in all 50 states.
