It doesn't take long for threads to get derailed here.
I have had a Tesla model 3 at my cold, UpNorth house for 4.5 years. If you have a garage and don't drive more than 100 miles in a typical day, EVs are awesome. Near zero maintenance, electricity is cheaper than gas (especially if you charge overnight and are on an hourly pricing plan with the electric co) and they are a pleasure to drive.
You do NOT have to upgrade your panel or install a 220v line, but it makes things easier. You can plug into a regular 110v outlet....yes it takes longer, but plugged in overnight at 110v is plenty of time to put 100 miles back on the battery.
If you live in a city, don't have a garage or do a long commute, an EV is going to be extremely inconvenient. As for road trips, I have friends who have done 1500 mile trips in a Tesla. As long as you are mostly on Interstate highways, you should be fine. Or not.
In summary, a typical Villager would probably be happy with an EV unless they take lots of long road trips and do not have a second car that runs on gasoline.
