[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does it need to be full electric or is plug-in hybrid ok? Unless this is going to be solely a commuter, I’d still recommend a hybrid. We are not quite at the point where an electric has the infrastructure to get you anywhere in the US (but getting very close!). And hybrid will give you more options in larger sizes.[/quote]

On the flip side, fully electric means way less maintenance (no oil changes, etc.), and the EV charging infrastructure is improving rapidly. [b]If you plan to keep this car for more than three years or so, no reason to get stuck with having to keep up a gas engine.[/b] I guess I might not drive cross-country and back in our EV, but we also never did that in our gas car, and for anything we generally drive to, it's absolutely fine now (but requires some advance planning) and will be easier soon.[/quote]

Quoted post. True. But I suspect if the OP knew a current all electric option was going to work for them for the next 15 years, they wouldn't be asking for more options.  I can totally see (because this person is me) a situation where someone really wants to go electric, but the current stock of all electric options just doesn't work for them.  If what you really need is a three row, the best 10+ years option is likely going to be a hybrid or a plug in hybrid.  If you just cannot stand the thought of buying another car that relies on a gas engine at all but need three rows, you are probably better suited at this point leasing something for the next three years, and buying then.  There are some great options coming down the line (like the VW bus, swoon, and Kia and Hyundai are adding three row options with the 2024 class), but they just are not really available options yet.[/quote]
