Our local electrical co-op held a EV Show & Tell last night, where they invited a half dozen EV owners of various brands (Tesla, Chevy, Ford, VW, & Subaru) to talk about their experiences with the EV's that they had owned anywhere between about 6 months and 5 or more years in the Tesla's case.
The owners all echoed your sentiments almost word for word. None expressed any regret in having purchased their EV, and also mentioned what you said about the fast Tesla Charging Stations being opened up to other brands as they settle on the Tesla charging plug as the standard. They also talked about several various owner apps that help owners find good working charging stations along their route while traveling, so you are less likely to run into charging issues on a road trip.
Not saying that it is the ticket for all people and all situations, but think it will increasingly become more of the solution for more and more situations as the technology matures, as it is sure to continue doing over the next decade or so.
They had several vehicles that the Co-op owns available to test drive as well. I drove a Ford 150 Lighting, and it was a great drive for the about 5 miles I drove it. Super quiet, and tons of torque. The ride along co-op employee also said he owned one personally too, and really liked it as well, with no regrets.
