I need a new car, and I really want to go full electric. I’m wondering if anyone regrets buying one? What are the downsides?

    I’m very pleased. I have a 2023 Bolt.

    For us there was no way we’d get one without a home charger. It’s great because every day you wake up and it’s like a full tank of gas.

    My wife still has a gas car and we bought the electric planning that we’d still use the gas one for road trips. The Bolt in particular doesn’t have super fast charging (probably like 45 minutes to get to 80% using a fast charger) so if we didn’t have the second car that might be my one concern.

    My wife wasn’t sold when we got it, but the electric was for me so we went ahead. Now she likes it. I’m banking on better EV options being available when we get our next car but I think it will be electric too.
