What are your thoughts on EV vehicles & charging? - eviltoast

I was watching this person’s videos on the matter. And was wondering what your experience has been with EVs and your opinion on the different connectors?

    I drive a 2023 VW id4. It’s the best worst car I’ve ever owned.

    The good parts: good mileage. No charging issues. Don’t have to buy gas which is something people understate dramatically when talking about EVs. Very comfortable luxury ride quality.

    The bad parts: the software in the infotainment system is horrific. I would say that I have a 10% downtime on average as I struggle through crippling lag and random black screens and resets. VW has announced a recall for this issue with no repair. I’ve had the car for over a year.

    The connector is functional but bulky and I would prefer they standardize the Tesla connector which in my opinion is significantly better.
