I need a new car, and I really want to go full electric. I’m wondering if anyone regrets buying one? What are the downsides?

    Your second paragraph is why I haven’t pulled the trigger yet. I don’t WFH, but my commute is only about 10 miles round trip and most of my errands are done within that same area. My Toyota is 12 years old and only has ~80k miles on it, so it just doesn’t make sense to switch at this point.

    That said, I’m casually looking for a new job and my commute would go up dramatically for a lot of options in my field, so I haven’t eliminated the possibility.

      Not that buying a whole different car is always financially smart, but you have an ideal setup for getting a cheaper, often lower range EV.
