2023 Subaru Solterra - Subaru's first ever EV.

Subaru, just announced their first ever electric SUV, Subaru Solterra for the 2023 model year. Expected go on sale in mid 2022, the Solterra has a range of 220 miles on a single charge. 

Subaru has always been a reliable family brand. The fact that Solterra's EV powertrain comes from Toyota means reliability will not be an issue. 

Subaru is definitely leveraging their partnership with Toyota which is evident when you look at the Solterra which has body panels similar to the RAV4. But the Solterra has It's own unique styling. 

It would be exciting to see the 2023 Solterra on the road near future.

One of the reasons is the lack of charging stations as you travel further away from major cities. The Volkwagen's Electrify America program is working to address this issue but still it may take a few years. This move from Hertz is a great step towards transitioning the customers to EVs. This gives customers the opportunity to try out EVs before purchasing one.  Also there is another benefit, anyone who rents a Tesla from Hertz between now and February 2022 will have access to Tesla's charging stations at no cost. So this holiday season you can save on gas cost if you are planning
