I need a new car, and I really want to go full electric. I’m wondering if anyone regrets buying one? What are the downsides?

    if you don’t need to, why cry that it can’t?

    Because I need to drive 300 miles every few months and a car I own that can do that is cheaper than a car that can’t and renting something that can for the few times I need it. Rental cars are expensive and most come with per mile charges on top of the daily rate.

      It takes less than twenty minutes to charge enough to make that in any modern ev. Unless you’re filling up on gas before your trips anyway, you’re still gonna have to stop. The difference in time is negligible.
