Owner’s Experience with the Subaru Solterra After 35,000 Miles: Why It Might Not Suit Your Lifestyle

Subaru has been making waves in the electric vehicle market with its new Solterra electric SUV. With one customer driving over 35,000 miles in the past year, Subaru UK decided to reach out and get his thoughts on the all-electric lifestyle.

The customer, who leads a busy lifestyle visiting farming clients and running a local Scouts group, found the Solterra to be a perfect fit for his needs. He compared it to his previous Subaru Outback and noted that many features were similar, providing comfort to existing Subaru customers.

Transitioning to an all-electric vehicle was not difficult for the customer, as he had prior experience with another electric vehicle. He found that public charging stations were easily accessible and distributed across the country, making it convenient for him to charge his Solterra.

In terms of battery life, the customer noted that the range of the Solterra varied depending on the time of year and road conditions. While the battery performed well in the summer, colder temperatures affected its performance in the winter, resulting in less mileage.

Despite a minor fault that was promptly addressed by his local Subaru dealer, the customer had no issues adapting to the electric vehicle lifestyle. He expressed his full conversion to the all-electric lifestyle, citing the advantages of charging at home and the cost savings compared to traditional fuel-powered vehicles.

Looking ahead, Subaru plans to introduce more hybrid and electric vehicles by 2028, offering a range of options for customers interested in sustainable transportation. However, the customer highlighted the need for more affordable electric SUVs to attract first-time buyers and suggested that the Solterra could benefit from a longer range.

As Subaru continues to innovate in the electric vehicle market, customers are encouraged to share their thoughts and experiences with the brand. Whether waiting for new electric models or considering the 2024 Solterra, Subaru enthusiasts have the opportunity to engage with the brand and provide feedback on their preferences.

Overall, the customer’s experience with the Subaru Solterra highlights the growing popularity of electric vehicles and the importance of offering diverse options to meet the needs of different customers. With a focus on sustainability and innovation, Subaru is poised to make a significant impact in the electric vehicle market in the coming years.
