I thought the handles were fine but I can see them getting really annoying. I have heard of the ICCU problem which I need to ask about when buying used.
I know the charger has changed so I'll have to get a better adaptor. I am thinking of getting a level 2 charger in my garage but I am a little hesitant about getting a CCS port
Don't worry too much about CCS vs NACS, as there are simple adapters to convert between them. The protocol the cars talk to the chargers with is all the same, it's just a different physical connector. If you're going to be doing any kind of good mileage I would recommend getting the level 2 charger in your garage if you can. I use one and take advantage of cheap real-time/off peak electric rates to do all my charging in the middle of the night.
That's the plan to get a level 2 to get the best charging deal. We will be doing mostly city driving well within the range so just a top up when prices work
