We have an EV and it’s perfect for staying close to home but driving a couple hours from home I don’t like because of EV charger scarcity. Went to St Augustine over Christmas and finding a working, available charger was not fun. Then it slow charged and it was really relatively cold out and dark while I was trying to figure out using a different type of charger that charged by the minutes. I think the best car is a hybrid that recharges itself when you drive it. I rented a hybrid in Colorado from Denver to Boulder and only spent $9.61 for gas the 2 days I was there. Our EV does regenerative breaking but not like a hybrid recharges itself. When our lease is up, Definitely want to switch. First world problems, whatever! Lol
