Exactly. I sort-of wish that my Leaf had longer range, active cooling, and CCS-2 instead of ChaDeMo ... but in fact I have never needed any of those things. Not even close. For longer trips we take my wife's car anyway because it has more space. The idea of taking my own car on a ski trip or visit to our daughter's college - both possible but without a comfortable margin - is really only nice in an abstract sense. The "buyer's remorse" I feel is mostly that I could have gotten the electric Mini (I drove a Mini for 14 years and loved it) for slightly less, despite it having only half the range. When we replace the aforementioned wife's car, such that going electric would mean no ICE as a backup, maybe these things will be real issues. Of course, by then battery technology and charging infrastructure will have improved to the point where I'm 100% confident we'll be able to find something suitable. Meanwhile, articles like this are just FUD from people rationalizing their innate (or motivated) resistance to change.
