2024 Subaru Solterra Review | Is It The Electric Forester You Asked For? Or An Electric Uh-Oh?

Subie's first EV is a bit of a head scratcher to be honest. It's priced well, the range is "OK" and charging speeds aren't far off the average for comparably priced EVs... On the other hand it lacks any kind of "wow" factor, aside from the ground clearance. Other EVs will charge faster, go further, accelerate quicker, etc. but few will have as much off road capability as the Subaru aside from Hummers and Rivians at the moment. But then we have the range. The Solterra might have the clearance and the traction to tackle the "back of beyond" but it lacks the range to get back from the back of beyond. You know, unless you could charge in the wilderness which seems unlikely.
