range that I can always charge to 100% — unlike other brands that told me it was recommended to stop at 80%, which consequently cut my real range from 600 to 480 by not being able to charge to 100%. I think that's something people should know.

Subaru Uncharted

The Subaru Uncharted is a compact electric crossover that feels at home in the city, with easy steering and Subaru’s traction helpers giving it more off‑road composure than its size suggests. It’s practical and simple to use for daily life with convenient charging, but the rear seat is snug, rear visibility suffers without a wiper, and the all‑wheel‑drive version can be thirstier on long motorway runs.
