Yep. It depends on your travel needs, and what kind of public transportation your area provides. In our case, we also have to consider the size of our garage and the width of the alley leading to it I couldn't tell you for sure where the nearest Supercharger is, though I've seen one about 40km away on Chargemap that I'm pretty sure is a Tesla operation. We have plenty of non-Tesla public charging points, some of them free; but for us, it seldom matters much. When we travel long distances, we usually drive the EV to a major regional train station (45km or 65km), and take the (electric) train from there. So even the cheapest Tesla 3 (42k euros) would be overkill, with way more range than we need. Besides, it's too big. It wouldn't fit. But that's us. Your situation is probably entirely different. Isn't it great that today we have a variety of EVs to choose from? And more are on the way in the next few years.
