Anybody in here have a non #Tesla EV? I'm ready to trade mine in when there is a good alternative.

My biggest concern, besides the range, is the number of charging stations. Has anybody else other than Tesla cracked that nut?

@BahstanCubano Especially on Interstates and in medium to larger cities, there seems to be no shortage of fast charging stations. Often the ones at dealerships are free. I have a 2021 Ioniq (205 mile range on a good day in summer with the A/C off, lucky to get 140 miles in the dead of winter) but I only use it for local and regional travel. The newer models have better range. I am waiting for a non-Tesla small SUV / crossover with 350+ mile range with 4WD. Not quite there yet AFAIK. Certainly by end of decade, probably sooner. Then we wont have to keep the conventional Crosstrek in reserve for the occasional road trip or to lug e-bikes or kayaks.

@KnottedNickers Polestar has a good looking SUV but it's Chinese and the only people I dislike more than Elon is the Chinese government.

@BahstanCubano Yeah and I would want something with a decent service organization behind it.
