EVs are better cars, and most people are happy with them to get another EV in future. You do need private charging solutions to make it cheaper/convenient, and home solar makes it even better economics. Public charging is something you should plan to use a handful of times per year.
Can't charge at home here and no public chargers nearby either...
I'm guessing you are in the US as here in the UK more are against EVs than for them because charging costs out and about are higher than ICE cars and Teslas are pretty much hated, and they have by far and away the best charging network. My wife is disabled and believe me having an EV is way harder then because even silly things like the public chargers being as far away from service stations and amenities means it is counter-productive. We will never be able to charge at our current home either - it is banned in the contract
