    Picked up a Land a few months back. High MSRP but got a great lease deal. 3 rows, lots of power, luxury that punches way above its weight, quirky enough to be unique but normal enough to be secure. Maybe in the future there will be other options, but right now I you're looking for an EV with this kind of space, this is the only real choice. I understand that there are three types of people right now... wildly pro-EV, extremely anti-EV, and everyone else. If you're in the first two camps, nothing is going to convince you that you're wrong. For all the other people, I would suggest you logically consider facts rather than taking advice from people with an agenda. People who hate on EVs for one reason or another right now tend to be shouting the loudest, and the reality is that a lot of so called "complaints" don't have much effect on real-world every day life.

    This is my likely next vehicle after my Mach-E lease runs out. I occasionally need to shlep 5 adults, but otherwise want something comfortable and quick to change lanes and convenient. My wife wants something waftier than our Mach-E (non-Magneride); more like the Pacifica Hybrid my son has taken over. Not sure if I'd go for Land or GT-Line trim; I *don't* want the power second row, though.
    Thanks, Tom.

      I do have an issue with EV pricing: Pick any vehicle that is available as a Plug-in Hybrid as well as an EV... the Hybrid is always cheaper... WHY?!
      I struggle to understand how you can add engine, cooling system, fuel tank, transmission, exhaust, catalytic converter, to the systems already there for electic power, and sell it at a lower price.
      The fully-electric vehicle only needs larger battery, and possibly upgraded motor and charging system, yet we pay more.
      Don't misunderstand me; our vehicles are all fully electric, and include a Kia which we love! (Niro EV, don't need anything bigger, or the EV9 would be my choice.)

    EV9's in my area are discounted $12-16K off the MSRP, taking off a bit of the high price. The EV9 Land in this video is $58K in our market in Okla. Harder to sell these here since gas is only $2.50/gal.

      Going back as far as Ralph Nader (remember him), studies have shown that a smooth design is the most significant factor. Hood ornaments and protruding (1960's) fender fronts are bad. High-clearance fronts that channel the pedestrian under the vehicle... also bad. Similarly, low fronts that knock out the legs of the pedestrian, and launch them head-first into the windscreen results in higher risk of head injury.
      I don't think this design poses a greater risk than the millions of pickups, bull-bars and all, that clog the roads already.

This is very nice, but for me I want a range of 300-350 miles. And for this money I'd have the ID Buzz :). But it's a nice car and well presented, as always.

      Road tripping charging will be solved this year by adopting NACS. As for price, $48k gets you an AWD Telluride, thinking you'll get the BEV equivalent the same price is madness. Anyway, in some places you can get a lease deal with the federal rebate that's very competitive.

    74K vs 48K with a 7.5K Tax rebate for a Tesla model Y, which is smaller. Add to that, the model Y is at least 1 mile per kWh more efficient and the Tesla charging network, being 20-40% cheaper than Electrify America.
