[quote=Anonymous]We have had our EV for a few months now (VW ID.4, which tbh not the best EV objectively but the lease prices on these were great so that is why we went with it, have a ~$300/mo payment with 0 down).

So far so good, the car handles fairly well, is smooth to drive, and comes with a decent amount of tech (infotainment can be a little buggy/laggy sometimes though).

More importantly, super convenient, never have to go to a gas station. We just charge it at home using level 1 charging (super slow version of the charging) and it works out well for us. Just charge it overnight and more than enough.

That being said, if you do not have access to charging at home, I would not go for it (as that partially defeat the purpose of EVs, cheap and convenient charging). Charging at public charging stations aint the cheapest (around 50c/kwh vs only around 14c if you charge at home/around $8-$10 for a full charge)

I would also recommend against buying it as the depreciation curves on EVs are crazy steep right now. Either buy used, or lease it. And if you lease it, make sure to use Leasehakr to determine what lease prices you should be paying (its an amazing resource, thanks to it we pay so little for our lease, otherwise we would have paid more like 500+ a month if we just took whatever price dealers gave us without the research)[/quote]
