I need a new car, and I really want to go full electric. I'm wondering if anyone regrets buying one? What are the downsides?

I live in the western us, where 150 miles isn't all that far, and 200 between compatible fast chargers can be normal depending on where you're driving.

In the end it's all about everyone's personal situation. Mine is, that battery is only a commuter because there's no way I can afford the 400+ mile cars (nor am I interested in them anyways)

Yep, I live in the south and we will regularly (several times a year) drive 300 miles or more to visit the various families.
