Especially if you are looking at towing anything or going outside of the city, you'd want a very comprehensive charging network that you can rely on. And really... outside of Tesla, the experience is not great. So, if you are not planning to get a Tesla for your first EV, I'd suggest using whatever EV you end up getting almost strictly as a commuting vehicle inside the city. You are not going to like what EV has to offer if you are planning to use it for anything else than that without being a Tesla. I've met many people who went EV without going to Tesla, and they either stick with city/short-trip only, or eventually got a Tesla just so that they can do roadtrips.
That's some solid advice. Thank you. And sort of the conclusion I've come to, hence looking to add to the fleet to see it it makes sense first rather than swapping immediately. If EV is not for me then just sell the EV and wait for the infrastructure to improve or my intended use to change. It's really the in-town stuff that has an ICE looking terrible from a mpg standpoint but we also need the truck bed and sometimes more than 5 seats in those in-town settings. Decisions, decisions.
