Electric vehicles are more affordable and available than ever in the Lakeland area, with almost every popular automaker offering an electric model or an electric variant of an existing model. While electric vehicles used to come in a single size because of the limited availability, these days you can buy anything from a fully-electric SUV to a fully-electric pickup truck. If you're looking to upgrade your daily commute with a new electric SUV, you can't go wrong with the new Subaru Solterra! The Solterra offers powerful performance specs, a sporty ride, and plenty of room inside the cabin for passengers and cargo alike.
