When you get an EV find one with twice the range of your daily commute. You need extra range for heat, AC, hills, stops, extra errands. For example my 9yo Leaf had a 75 miles range and my commute was 35 miles. After 86,000 miles my Leaf still goes 60 miles per charge. I can drive anywhere in Birmingham for free forever.

Newer EVs have better range. My wife's 2018 Nissan Leaf has an advertised range of 150 miles and we average 140 to 185 miles per charge with a high of 208 miles. We just completed a 4400 mile trip trough Texas and averaged 5.1 miles per kWh. After 3 years the Leaf easily exceeds the EPA range, a consequence of having a million mile battery formula.

Ig you don't have access to home or work charging check out many of the Plug in hybrid cars like the Prius Prime or Volt or RAV4 Prime.
