[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like any other vehicle, electric vehicles have their drawbacks. For example, until now they do not allow for long trips of several hundred kilometers and are intended mainly for movement within the same city. The time it takes to fully charge a modern electric vehicle can be an hour at best, but usually it takes several hours to charge a vehicle. Even a quick and partial charge requires at least 30 minutes. Electric cars are simply very expensive. Prices for an economy class model start at $ 20,000 or $ 30,000. Tesla Model S will cost the buyer 100 thousand. If you are really interested in this topic, then I advise you to visit various forums dedicated to electric vehicles like [url]tesla.com[/url], [url=https://myev.online]https://myev.online[/url] and so on. There, the guys discuss the problems they encountered during the operation of their electric vehicles.[/quote]
I've been thinking for a very long time about buying an electric car, but because of your post, now I don't know if it's worth it or not. Perhaps you should just buy a regular car?[/quote]

Do you own an EV? This is just not true.  We just bought our third Tesla, a Model Y.  We had the first year Model X, and yes, at that time they took a longer time to charge and didn't have the range they do now.  We traded it in and now have a new Model 3 as well as the Y.  It takes 15 minutes to fully charge at a Tesla supercharger, which is a game-changer for road trips.  At home we just plug it in at night (every few days or so - depending on how much we drive that day) and it is fully charged in the morning.  Our 3 and Y take half the amount of time to charge at home than the older X did.  You are correct that Teslas are not cheap.  BUT - they are virtually maintenance free because there are no mechanical things to break down.  In the four years we had our Model X, we changed the tires on it and once during a bad rain/wind storm, the windshield wipers broke (luckily I was almost home!).  The best part - Tesla service came to our house the next day to fix them.  For the money, you can't beat the Model 3 which is why you're seeing so many of them on the road now.

And it goes without saying - they are a dream to drive - we will never own another make of car.
