    Ugh. I saw the headline and I was hoping it would be an entry-level, low cost, highly analogue, "looks just like a normal car but electric" car.

      Yes!

      The closest thing I could find to a "normal car but electric" was the Hyundai Kona EV (I know, it's more small-SUV than 'car). So, I bought one.

      It's good. There are physical controls for the temperature and volume, and the door handles aren't stupid.

      I walked away from a Ford Mach-E because I didn't want to have to explain how to open the doors to ever person I drove for the next five years.

        The OG Ioniq (not the 5) was also sold as two kinds of hybrid (self-charging and charging) as well as full EV.
