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?

Not that buying a whole different car is always financially smart, but you have an ideal setup for getting a cheaper, often lower range EV.

Oh yeah, my next car is definitely going to be an EV, regardless, but it does seem silly to spend the money when A) I drive so little and B) I still have student loans I'm trying to clear out in the next year or so. I'm also secretly hoping that in the meantime Toyota will say, "hey here's a RAV4 that's identical to your current one except it's electric!" because I reaaaally love my car and haven't found anything to take it's blocky little place in my heart yet.
