I have put 40,000 miles on a Tesla Model S.
Charge at home most of the time. I travel a large territory so I occasionally have to stop at a super charger. Fifteen minutes gets 180 miles in battery. Charging slows down after that. Car finds super charger for you and adds to route.

I bought the car for safety(best self driving car I could find) but was amazed how well everything worked.

Much of the Green deal is BS but at least Tesla can make the car work and will be making 18 Wheeler work shortly.

Everyone I know who has an electric car is happy with them. Granted that's not many, but the number is growing.

That said, I have concerns about the life span of the batteries and what happens when they're used up.

When you are in a hurricane evacuation traffic jam that stretches over a couple of states you will have FEMA on your side. It’ll be fine.
