A little counterintuitive thinking on EVs for someone who doesn't drive a lot. There are advantages to an EV powertrain in minimal use situations. The motors and battery are minimally impacted by just sitting. You might be able to go years with no routine maintenance. There is nothing wrong with taking a 4-minute spin to the grocery store, while doing that regularly in an ICE vehicle is not a good idea. No worries about the gas going bad while the car sits. No worries about getting the engine up to temperature in the winter. Plug in the car to keep it warm all winter long. Depending on how much you drive, you might not even need a dedicated charger at home--a 110-volt cord might give you all the range you need. A couple of factors mitigating against purchasing any expensive new car that rarely get mentioned: higher sales tax, higher excise/property tax, higher insurance rates. Some places annual excise/property tax is a big annual bill and is usually based on car value. So, the higher the initial price the more you pay each year thereafter.
