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?

    I love mine. I live in Kansas and that shapes some of my needs differently than most of the audience here, but have a Ford Lightning and it’s great.

    I had to install a charger in my garage and unless you have a lot of public fast chargers near you then you’ll need that.

    I’ve driven long distances with it and most of the Love’s truck stops have dc fast chargers which worked perfect on the interstate.

    Weather, speed, and payload are the biggest factors for range for me. The only time any were a real problem is when the temp was near zero, but I could mitigate the severe range loss some by letting it warm up for an hour or so before I departed, which can be controlled in the app.

      Yet another reason to love Love’s. As someone who drives a LOT for work, there’s no place I’d rather stop.
