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
You will need to be prepared for the hassles of the public charging infrastructure in the US. Additionally, if you don’t have a level 2 home charger or plan to install one, then I would not go EV.
