As an average car user, we can easily enumerate the somewhat significant trade offs.

Main points of difference:

Filling with gas vs charging.

Oil changes, transmission fluid changes, etc vs replacing battery in ~10(?) years.

That’s about it from what I can tell. No wrong choice. Just trade offs.

All those oil changes PLUS changing the engine and/or transmission in 10 years (for me that’s about 150k miles). I drive a hybrid, which has some of the advantages and some of the disadvantages of both. I need to be able to do cross-country trips, but EV’s appeal to me on their lower long term costs and all the advantages others have mentioned.

I bought a plug-in hybrid several years ago, Prius Prime with 25 mile battery range. It is a good transition, as I wasn't ready go go all electric at the time. My next vehicle will be an EV.

Since we are no longer commuting, we rarely need to buy gas. It is essentially an EV, that has the convenience of gas power when going on long trips.
