I've argued to avoid the first gens of these EVs, and not become an early adopter. Look at the Bolts, for instance. Hi prices and rushes to market can be a bad combination. A few years worth of good reviews and happy customers, and reduced pricing would be needed before jumping in.

Here's another one about Mustang MachE. What bugs me about the EVs is all the tech that makes them software dependent, and the "owner" has no control. In the below article, the 270 mile range EV Mustang soon became a 200 mile range EV Mustang. I think Teslas and others also control the downloads and software controls, not the owner. The possibilities of unwanted limits and restrictions are grotesque and unfathomable and probably not what the customer bargained for.

Also, cold, real world cold weather performance and range issues have yet to be disproved.
