I'd rather have a gas car converted to electric. Or go the salvage route like Rich Rebuilds
Kits have been around for awhile and Ford sells their Elluminator motor...I'm guessing Dodge and others will too.
The charging network is still an issue.

This is definitely something I experienced. I turo’d a Mach E on vacation once. If you don’t have a Tesla, running out of battery anxiety is a real thing
hopefully Elon opens up his superchargers to all EVs

I currently have a 2018 Chevy Volt and I have two young kids. But with my parents coming often from another country I think an upgrade to a 7 seater may be beneficial.
I was thinking of putting a reservation on the Rivian R1S or the VW ID Buzz. Both are very intriguing but the one thing that's holding me back is that paying that much for a car that's going to get abused by small children may not be worth it.
Pre-kids, my Volt was so nice and clean, but now it's wrappers on the floor, footprints on the back of the car etc...I may just wait it out until the kids are older maybe.

My wife has a Tesla Model Y Performance. We love it. Just make sure you go solar as well to offset electricity costs.

Would love to have a EV as my daily/beater but living in Manhattan isnt helping the cause. I already have my garage queen in a garage. I dont want to be paying for a second spot to plug up my car

I have been keeping my ear to the ground about 7 seater EVs for a while now that our family is grown in number and friends/out of town visitors ride with us often. It seems like they’re a few years away, since most are slated for release around 2024ish/whenever they want. Candidates for me are the VW id.buzz, Canoo, or the Kia/Hyundai SUVs. I think I’m biased against the Tesla model X now because of the connotations, but if that’s the only game in town when my minivan dies… so be it.
As for a daily driver, I want a Chevy Blazer/Equinox or Hyundai ioniq5 to beat on some day when our current ride retires.
I’m excited for the future and solar paying for my transportation fuel costs!

I don't know. Paying that much for a 7-seater where the back row is so tiny that kids can barely fit doesn't sit right with me. If you're paying $100k+ for a 7-seater, it better be spacious and comfortable for everyone.

If my living situation was such that I could charge at home, I'd never consider a gas car.

That still won't solve the issue...then you'll have even more people using a select number of chargers which aren't mainly centered around bigger cities and that's before we get to the actual grid being out of date/not maintained. Plus chargers break.
If you have an accident or need repairs parts aren't readily available, long wait times or really expensive for minor issues.

Chevy Shows Off $30K Equinox EV With 300-Mile Range
At the Detroit Auto Show, we also got a look at the Silverado EV pickup truck and Blazer EV announced earlier this year, both of which arrive next year.
