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 haven't regretted it. Did a road trip across the country. Takes more planning because chargers are more sparse than gas stations, but totally doable. Having a place to charge is a must. I lived in an apartment complex without charging and REALLY had to plan my charging sessions or it could get stuck in the parking garage.

Yeah, I stayed with my parents for a few months while I was house hunting and being limited to Level 1 charging was challenging. I couldn't recover a full commute's worth of charge overnight and would start each day with progressively less charge, so I'd have to swing by a L3 charger once a week or so. Still cheaper than gas though.
