Alternatively, you could go the hybrid route as those are arguably better for most people. Plus their batteries are often large enough you can get 20-40 miles of all electric driving. That alone covers over 95% of all people's trips.
There are a few options in that category. I believe Toyota's Highlander is a 3 row hybrid. I think Hyundai's new Santa Fe also has a hybrid power train with 3 rows. The Mazda CX-90 is another viable hybrid. Though Idk if that officially released yet.
But yeah, in terms of pure 3 row EV's, we're lacking.
Plugin hybrids are killer. EV around town and good MPG on road trips.
My previous vehicle was a Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid (which I sold in 2022 when I left for a long trip), and I actually bought another one after Tesla cancelled my order. It is a good option, but my main gripe with it is that it doesn't have enough electric range and it only charges on AC. I was ready to go full electric, but apparently the market isn't.
The Volvo EX90 is a 7 seat EV.
Volvo makes quite a few EV and hybrids now. The "Overseas Delivery Tourist Experience" is also a nice touch if you ever wanted to go to sweden.
