Hi I'm a European car tech and I own a 2015 e Golf SEL my sister owns a 2020 and my brother has a 2017 and they are great what I like the most is like you said they are really economical to run but also when I want to go pick up something at the corner store or for a short drive I don't feel bad doing it but with any gas or Diesel car it not good to do if you don't have a long ride to get the engine to operating temperature and it just not affected doing short trips like a ICE car.
