EVs right now are not a good value proposition for a first car. The range is too low, the chargers are too hard to find, charging takes too long, the cars are too expensive, repairs are way more expensive, and they don't really help the environment all that much. It would be far more useful to me to get an ICE car which will be far cheaper and more reliable as my only vehicle.
Now this being said, I do think EVs make sense as a "daily driver", i.e. you only take your EV to work and the grocery store, and plug it in at night. Unfortunately this kind of requires a permanent residence, which nobody can afford right now.
Very excited for when EVs have 1000+ miles of range, charge quickly, and have more supporting infrastructure. But my guess is that this is at least 10 years off.
