Before I retired, I drove 130 miles round trip every day down the entire length of I-575 to work, in weather that went from very hot summers to sometimes very frigid temperatures in an unheated garage.

If any one of these manufacturers would have GUARANTEED I could make it to work and back any day I tried and it could be charged overnight from a 120VAC plug at night, I might have considered one. None did, none will.

I used to see a Honda EV on the same road for about a year....then it suddenly disappeared from my daily spotting of cars I recognized.

That said. I’m not against them for moderate and regular driving that doesn’t stress the limit of EV capability in an urban type environment, but that’s not me.

The Tesla would fit your needs for 100k plus. Unlimited mileage 8 year battery and powertrain warranty too if that makes any difference.

From my perspective it's a very cool car but short of winning a (very large) lottery there are other cars I would prefer.
