My wife and I currently own one EV. We live in the U.S. Midwest where winter months do have an impact on battery performance. Our other car is my older 2002 Honda CR-V. It has over 187k miles on it, but has been very reliable, usually just requiring general maintenance and replacements as the years and miles have come. We have two older dogs that occupy the back of the car for longer road trips. Given announcements of solid state batteries arriving in a few years or so, I am deliberating between buying a compact SUV EV in a couple years or waiting for 3–4 years to see of solid state batteries have arrived in vehicles from good automotive brands. I would be curious what others think. Feel free to share your own situation too.

    Although I appreciate the steps Kia and Hyundai have made in terms of quality, news like this still keeps me somewhat averse from seriously considering the brand. I do like the look of the Hyundai Ioniq though.
