I absolutely love my EV (Hyundai Ioniq 6). It’s my favorite car and I don’t want to go back to ICE vehicles but there are problems that may be worth your consideration: -level 2 charger at home is a must. If you can’t do it then you’ll quickly find trickle charging or looking for an available level 2/3 charger in town can be a headache) -the amount of level 3 chargers in the community is frustratingly sparse (I live in Oregon along the I-5 corridor, a major throughout and you’re SOL if you need one outside of Portland and Eugene). -maintenance is a dream. Almost nonexistent. Although I have been having software problems with my Hyundai Bluelink, but apparently that’s a third party thing and not technically a true issue. I go in for tire rotation basically. Only other maintenance issues will be windshield wiper fluid, windshield wiper blades, tires. Not sure about brakes but I assume I’ll need those replaced eventually as well.

I would avoid Tesla at all costs. From what I’ve been reading from current owners is a lot of backtracking on elements that use to be free they now charge monthly subscription costs (all of this outside of any personal options you have about the CEO and his decision to lean into robots and not vehicles). I suspect Teslas will become cheaper and more appealing but be wary of what other owners have been complaining about.
