I am considering purchasing an EV next year (VW ID4). Had a Honda Hybrid in 2002. I am wondering about people’s experience and their list of pro’s and con’s with EV’s.
For instance, I heard a month back or so that for vehicle registration in our state there is an EV tax = $200
It’s probably best to have a charging app which probably comes with a monthly fee. This is because not all cars can charge at all charging stations due to a lack of standardization.
On road trips be prepared to take a 30-40m break every 200miles (320km). I know my family members/friends with weak bladders will appreciate these frequent stops.
What other things/thoughts do people have?
TIA
Keep in mind that in the US, public charging on non-Tesla can be iffy depending on your state. VW is the only major manufacturer that hasn’t signed up to use the supercharger network.
That being said, 40 min break per 200 mi sounds right for an ID4.
