Test drove the iX x50 and like it. However I am worried about charging with EA as comments seem negative. Is it that bad? Can you use Tesla supercharger with adapter for few times when you cannot find EA?
I never had EV before. So any other feedback will be helpful. Idea is to use for mostly local and some long distance (300-500 miles) driving.
It will be lease. Was looking for 2 yr but numbers work for 3 yrs better. Had similar price range non-EV car before. So am ok with that. Was more worried about driving and charging issues?
Charging: the best way to not be disappointed is to assume your first EV is just for driving within the radius of your home, especially in winter when range drops. Long distance trips can gradually be added as you get used to it.
Driving: in my experience RWD EVs drive just like RWD ICEVs, with better throttle response obv, but AWD EVs do not necessarily drive like AWD ICEVs during spirited driving and/or slippery conditions. There’s something about how EVs can transfer instant torque to the front wheels in a way that ICEVs do not. I would not get one of the faster EVs as a first EV.
