I recently sold my RAV4 and bought an EV. I will tell you that it absolutely does not make sense to buy an EV unless you can charge your car while you're at home or at work. If you're happy to drive your existing ICE vehicle until the wheels fall off, go for it. My commute made it make sense for me to sell a car that was still in pretty good condition while it still had good value in order to trade up, but that's not always sensible for every case.

Repairability is a bit of a concern, but it's not like you throw the whole thing away over one little issue. It is made up of parts and the parts can be replaced piecemeal as needed like other cars. But no transmission, no oil changes, no spark plugs, no radiator, etc. My only scheduled maintenance is rotating and replacing tires, replacing headlight bulbs and wiper blades, and brakes, but the brakes see less use due to regen braking.

The battery issue is also not as big of an issue as you'd think. Just be mildly strategic with how and when you charge, and it lasts longer. And it reaching the end of its life isn't a quick and catastrophic death so much as it is a gentle diminishing of range. My car's original range was 250 miles. I bought it used 4-5 years after release and it still gets like 230 miles on 100% charge. But I only charge up to 75% for my unusually long 90ish mile round trip daily commute, and I just plug in when I get home. I could charge even less, but it's probably best for battery longevity to keep the battery between 20% and 80% unless there's a good reason not to. My family is taking a long road trip in it next week, so I'll charge up to 100% ahead of that and probably ahead of coming back. It will take a little more planning than a gas car would, but the infrastructure is there such that it won't be that complicated to map out charging locations along the way.

The tech is here when you're ready for it. But again, it really doesn't make much sense for you to make the change now while you have a fairly new, well-running vehicle, especially if you don't already have home charging set up. But if you're serious about eventually switching, start researching charging equipment and your home's power availability and your typical range needs. Most Americans don't drive more than like 20-30 miles, and park their car for over 12 hours, so if that's you, then you could just use level 1 charging off a standard outlet. I opted for more, but again, I'm an unusual case.

Cheers!
