2,500-Mile Update on our Long Term 2024 Subaru Solterra

Time for our first report on Subaru’s first EV, the 2024 Subaru Solterra.

This Hot Red Chili Pepper experienced some cold, cold weather during its first two months with us, but it can’t stop this Subi, as we were getting around just as well as any other all-wheel-drive Subaru we’ve driven.

The Solterra’s 222-mile rating may be a little low as far as EVs go these days, but it hasn’t impacted our plans, having driven 2,500 miles already. It just takes a little planning to make sure you’re fully charged when you need to be, something easily done overnight even on a standard 110 outlet.

Despite sharing a platform with the Toyota Bz4x, this Solterra feels definitively like a Subaru. That’s mostly the extra ground clearance and the all-wheel-drive system, which was great in the snow. Granted, the cold temps contract our displayed driving range estimate, but the miles we do get are very pleasant.
