I need a new car, and I really want to go full electric. I’m wondering if anyone regrets buying one? What are the downsides?

    Ah yes, biking two hours each way when I’m summoned into the office. Something I definitely would get up at 4AM to do.

      Either your drive to the office is unreasonably long, or you are driving much faster than legal. For most roads the legal speed is not that much slower than a bike can go - and you spend a lot of time sitting at stop lights. Which to say an ebike is a reasonable option for a lot of people who refuse to even consider it. Though I don’t know your personal situation and so I cannot be sure. (and often the roads you would have to drive on are not safe for bikes which is a real problem)
