I just bought my first EV and he's precisely why I didn't even consider a Tesla when it came down to it. Also it helps that I want buttons on my dash and not all screen. Ended up with a Hyundai Ioniq5, it's boss.
Leaf owner here. Same story, but I went further down market. Charging options aren't super great, but I'm getting good value out of this and a far less smug emissions than the Tesla folks. Zero regrets.
