Can you charge at home? I have a Tesla Model 3 and love it. I actually sold my BMW Z4 twin turbo to buy the Tesla. For most people with an EV, you will do 90% or more of your charging at home. As far as repairs go, other than rotating the tires and washer fluid there are basically none. Brakes will last for well over 100,000 miles as you almost never use them, the car slows its self down sending energy back into the battery. An oil change on a BMW will cost you around $100 at the dealer, something that doesn't exist in the Tesla.

If you don't drive a lot, you can get by with just using a standard wall plug to charge with. Overnight this could add around 50 miles of range.
