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:

If you’re the type of car buyer that would rather buy than lease a car, you may want to lease your next electric car. Why? The new range of next-generation electric cars with much longer driving ranges, around 300 miles are just around the corner. This means that resale values for today’s electric cars will plummet once models like the production versions of the VW I.D. concepts start to arrive around 2020.
2017 Volkswagen e-Golf Wrap Up:
VW hasn’t announced the pricing for the updated 2017 e-Golf or even when it will be available. The 50% longer driving range should help the e-Golf continue to find buyers until the ID. concepts arrive, although it’s going to be an even harder sell once the Model 3 arrives. The next Nissan Leaf is also around the corner and it should also get a significant battery upgrade as well.
