Carvana has EVs and hybrids - so at least you don't 100% have to go to a dealer.Since I'm working remote I charge my vehicle every 10 days maybe and that is because I want to plug it in, not because the battery is almost zero.
Everyone has different needs, but for me I wouldn't see anything wrong plugging my car daily (if need be), takes merely 10 seconds when I get home, I could be tired as hell but getting that charge handle and plugging into my car adds nothing to make me not do it. To me, once you go EV you just become a bit more organized but those crying babies complaining that they didn't plug in because they're tired.....give me a break..!!
These cars provide way over 300 miles of range, not many people NEED to drive to work that much in a daily basis, but crying babies will be there no matter what... LOL
In CT, the dealer mafia has also done everything in their power to lobby and prohibit any EV manufacturer to sell directly in CT, which is all bananas and BS, but we're fighting. Honestly, for me it is a hassle walking into a dealership to negotiate a price on a car, just did that recently since my son wants a car. Just like those who were opposing online sale of anything in the past (clothing, food and everything else) now realize how popular Amazon has become.
Yes, driving an EV may take a bit of adjustment at first (for some) but once you get it you never look back in most cases (I tell you from experience of the hundreds in our CT group who made the switch).

Here's an EV issue I have not seen addressed. There are millions of people living in cities who do not have a dedicated parking space and must park along the street in whatever space they can find. How would they charge an EV? Will we be required to put a charging station on every space like parking meters?
Unless there's a Flex Alert in California, for instance, when they don't want people to charge their electric vehicles between 4-9 pm - they will probably turn off those charging stations. And the faster they charge, the higher the current demand so even more important to shut them down. But, I know, in the future.....As technology advances I presume the way we charge EVs today will evolve, EVs will be able to charge in much shorter times, few minutes so you can go to a charging station just like you go to a gas station. A few years ago the super chargers were L1, then L2 and now they have L3 which allows for insane charging speed capacity.
I am thinking about purchasing an EV or hybrid, but am wondering about the cost for the electricity. I live in the country and my electric bill is already $250/month. Have you any idea on how much it costs per KWH to charge an EV?...............................................DizzyIzzyAs technology advances I presume the way we charge EVs today will evolve, EVs will be able to charge in much shorter times, few minutes so you can go to a charging station just like you go to a gas station.

I don't own an EV. But as I understand it, charging an standard EV requires about 30 KwH per hundred miles. You would need to multiply your KwH rate by 30 to get the cost for about a hundred miles of driving. It wouldn't be anywhere near your cost for gas!!I am thinking about purchasing an EV or hybrid, but am wondering about the cost for the electricity.

How much oil is burned at the Electricity Plant to provide the energy equivalent to charge your EV? Well you do gooders, it takes roughly 40% more fuel to burn to make the electricity to charge you EV to go the same miles using gasoline. Do if you use 14 gallons of gas for your car to go 100 miles in you gasoline powered car you would burn, at the electric plant 14 gallons of oil. So how are you reducing polution? Please explain!. Not to mention, how do they get rid of the dead batteries? Oh Yeah. They haven't figured that out yet!Carvana has EVs and hybrids - so at least you don't 100% have to go to a dealer.
