@SW-User Battery tech will definitely get better. At a Tesla supercharger mine car takes half an hour to charge. While the typical gas station stop is seven minutes, plugging in at home or work takes maybe 45 seconds, so while commuting it's actually a time savings.
In '22 when I bought the car, it was limited by charging stations. Now, I can travel the whole I5 corridor or the high desert to the east with no concerns of battery range, for one fifth the fuel cost of an ICE vehicle of comparable size, with a much quieter ride.
I understand, with current technology an EV isn't everyone's solution to transportation, but I am quite happy with my experience with it. The only way I will go back to an ICE vehicle is if I can pick up a nice Lamborghini for about $35k. I don't think that will happen.
