  • 172: He's 58 and Never Bought the Car He Wanted. Should It Be a Rivian R2?

    John is 58, his Kia Niro EV lease ends in March 2027, and he's never bought the car he actually wanted. His heart says Rivian R2, but he's also weighing the Ioniq 5, Volvo EX30 and Mini Countryman SE, and the nearest Rivian service center is four hours from his home in Maine. Should he follow his heart?

    Also this episode: Cameron needs an EV that can cover 268 miles between chargers in northern Alberta at −40°, and Andy wants a Prius V replacement that can haul an upright bass, sound gear and a 60-lb dog through Sierra snow.

    Domenick is joined by Andrew Lambrecht from EverCars and Max Patton. 

    Andrew also brings us the Ever Cars "Deal of the Week." https://www.evercars.com/cars/KNDC5DLE8P5117626?utm_source=batteriesincluded&utm_medium=youtube&utm_campaign=battery-bargains-ep61&utm_content=deal-of-the-week
