Electric vehicles: Owners share whether they would buy one again

My line of thought would be to ask current EV owners if given an option, looking back, will they buy the same or another EV again?

BHPian coldice4u recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Considering the brouhaha about EVs making or not making sense from a lot of people who are not EV owners or have not experienced an EV for a longer period of time, I think it was essential to know what current EV owners think of their cars.

My line of thought would be to ask current EV owners if given an option, looking back, will they buy the same or another EV again?

Also it will be interesting to know the reasons for your vote and the EV you currently own or have experienced.

Currently own a Tiago EV.

However would've picked up the Punch EV if it had been available then.

Here's what BHPian Shreyans_Jain had to say on the matter:

Happy owner of a Nexon EV LR.

Had the option been available then, I would have strongly considered the Punch EV LR, on account of the much better rear seat and the lesser asking price. Either way, it would have been EV only. Nothing comes close for daily urban use.

Here's what BHPian GKR9900 had to say on the matter:

Happy owner of the Kona electric. Currently considering the MG comet EV for purchase in the immediate future and Atto 3 in the next year or so.

In my opinion, once someone is used to an EV, there’s no going back. I cant even enjoy driving my friends’ Germans anymore, because the drive quality of an EV is that much better. The fuel savings and green image are a bonus.

Here's what BHPian mally2 had to say on the matter;

Tiago EV owner here. 17k kms in 13 months. There is just no going back. In hindsight I would have preferred to get the punch Ev if it was available then. But then again the tiago suits me super well. I have a Hexa for my long distance commutes.

Any future upgrades will always be an EV. Here is me hoping the MG4 will launch soon

Here's what BHPian mobike008 had to say on the matter:

Super Happy Owner of a Tesla Model 3 Performance.

While the EV has several benefits over an ICE car but, after owning this car for 1.5 years, I would never rely completely on an EV but, would love to continue to own an EV vehicle as a 2nd car at home.

EV's are perfect to pot around the city (200miles/320kms of potting around in a single charge) where gas cars would deliver lower mileage due to start & stop traffic. And, for the long runs, I would prefer the ICE car.

That's exactly how I use my cars and in my humble opinion, this is the perfect blend to enjoy both type of cars.
