Also an unexpected benefit is that if you can home charge, which I can, you’ve got the equivalent of a gas station at home so you’re pretty much always ready to go anywhere within a pretty reasonable distance.
This only works if your home parking spot is both static and provides an electrical hookup. If you live in a city and need a car, going electric can be a massive pain in the ass, because most apartments in major cities don’t include reliable parking with guaranteed electrical access, much less a garage.

Yeah I’d only get an ev if you can home charge tbh.
Is MUCH cheaper, the stations add a significant upcharge on the kWh cost. And you can charge at night when the power is even cheaper
