At least it's not a Tesla. Only non car people would ever think that fully electronic door handles that depends on having working low voltage and a working computer to open the door is a good idea. Yeah they're supposed to have some hidden trap door mechanism for a emergency door release but clearly few if anyone thinks of that after they've probably had a concussion and the car is on fire.
Your firsthand data speaks louder than speculation—low daily costs, solid battery life past 130k miles, and cheap backup options make your EV ownership practical and sustainable, no matter what outside assumptions suggest.
We have an EV that hubby uses to commute in. We also have 2 other gas powered cars. He has a regular gas motorcycle and I have an electric motorcycle. They have their positives and negatives. Good commuter cars. Bad for distance driving unless you want to add a shit load of time.
Yeah having to stop and charge can easily turn an all day drive into a 2 day drive. Ain't no body got time for that.
