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?

It's definitely a different line for everyone, which is why I asked them to self-evaluate to challenge their own thoughts about it.

It could be they're ready when a standard battery is 300+ miles with a half hour charge up. Could be 500+ with 10 minutes to charge, etc. until we get to a place where it's probably far outside our lifetime and it's suddenly a hard no to EVs and they may have had no idea.

I just chafe a bit at vague "not yet" with no clear goal. It's the bread and butter of bad faith arguments against EVs and I don't like to see it spread, intentionally or not.
