I only recently started my car ownership journey. My first car is a 2023 Toyota Corolla. I would have liked electric, but options for a small/basic/simple/cheap electric sedan are very few, leaving you pretty much with only one brand that has some serious QC issues among...other...problems. I considered hybrid - but given the amount I drive I felt the break-even was very far away, if you accounted for any additional costs in maintenance in the long run (like eventual battery replacement). Now I think I regret that choice because eventually the resale value would have been better from what I understand, but oh well. I think by the time I get my next car in ~10-15 years, I'll go electric - assuming there's a product that fits my needs. By that time hopefully most of the manufacturers will have gotten a handle on it, working out the kinks and making the experience better. Right now it feels like they're all still floundering a little. Prices are too high, all of them seem to be having technical problems, and the product selection is a bit weak.
