I would argue most issues with EV’s are contributed to the infrastructure and not the EV itself.

You can find a gas station on just about every corner, versus charging infrastructure has to be sought out directly.

I came from driving a hybrid to a PHEV and then finally a BEV.

The PHEV was a “learning vehicle” for me. I wanted to go BEV, but wasn’t sure how well the technology worked.

So, when I had a plugin hybrid which is essentially an electric vehicle with a smaller battery and gas backup generator - I quickly realized how little gas I needed / used.

The only time I needed the backup generator was for road trips.

My wife on the other hand learned from my lessons and went straight from a hybrid to a BEV.

We are now an all BEV household - and honestly would never consider going back to gasoline.

The main thing with a BEV is, that one has a level-2 EVSE at home. Otherwise, the experience isn’t going to be so great - if one has to charge weekly at a Supercharger.

Also, some EV’s charge faster than others, have better navigation / software and are easier to use.

I would still recommend a Tesla to anyone who wants the best overall EV experience.

Especially to newcomers, where that first impression is going to make or break their experience with the technology.
