Depends on how much you drive on a daily basis and if you have a 110v / 220v to plug in at home. I had range anxiety when I shopped my first EV so I went with a dual motor Model 3 for its charging network and long range ability. I quickly learned the extra range wasn't needed for my everyday driving, but YMMV.

My current EV does 250km on a full charge and I drive 30-50km daily on average, so an overnight recharge on a 110v works just fine. My car charges at ~9km / hour on 110v so even a conservative 8-hour charge is more than enough to cover my daily commute. It takes like 10 seconds to plug it in and never felt like a hassle.
