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?

Recharge the car when you’re away from home?

Most large gas stations I’ve been to have chargers now.

Good to know. I do more road trips now that I’m not driving an ICE car. Plugshare does list those stations. I have a certain antipathy for ‘petrol’ companies. Something to do with the demise of the human species, to which I’m reasonably concerned about.

Producing an EV battery can generate around 2.5 to 16 metric tons of CO2. 1 Manufacturing a gasoline car produces about 6 tons of CO2 and over its lifetime, an ICE vehicle emits around 35.9 tons of CO2 from fuel production to usage. 2

LoL. Lavender Lad, get on your bike and ride off that anger. It’s not harming anyone apart from yourself.
