The EV market is changing so quickly now; I'd be worried about getting something now only to see something that fits you much better in a year or two.
My advice would be to do a lease transfer for an EV and try it out for a year - if you like it, chances are that you'll have a better sense of what will work best for you in the long run.
We'll need another vehicle in 6-9 months. My plan is to wait and buy one (possibly an EV) towards the end of this year or early next year.
Note: VW is reworking the iD4 based on the initial (strong negative) feedback. This is yet another reason to wait - it will take some time for manufacturers to figure out how to address issues that come up in the first few years of production.

Thanks. A lease may work for some but unsure on the prices over the next few years with the lithium shortage being touted. That may just price EVs out of the market.
