Maybe, hate to see my money spent supporting Islamic terrorists. Depends on how quickly the DCFC infrastructure is built out in smaller, rural areas, how much range and charging time improves and what the cost is.
I have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee turbo-diesel 4x4 that I plan to keep until it dies specifically for long trips and foul weather duty. So our plan is my wife will likely buy an Audi EV/SUV. I'l buy an EV if I can wait long enough. If not I'll likely buy a new ICE but still keep the Jeep.
I had a 2014, loved the vehicle but finally dumped it over failures of all the emissions crap mandated on diesels by the idiots in government. Def pump, sensor failures, intake mani plugged due to EGR, EGR cooler replaced under recall. And down for a couple months at a time waiting for parts.
There's no way to know right now. EV adoption is rising. Scaling and mass production are key to lower prices. I want more range also, and batteries that don't cost thousands to replace.
I'm open minded on the issue. It will really depend on the used car market 5-7 years out, and what things cost, along with gas prices versus electricity prices. I will buy what has the best value for the money when looking at overall lifespan.
I paid $18K for my used V6 XLE camry 5 years ago which has a good 150-250K miles left to go on it, and I'm not going to upgrade nor pay $30K+ for a vehicle any time soon. I enjoy my vehicle and have no reason to upgrade. I don't have the love of overspending and living paycheck to paycheck.
I’m in the market for a new car. I’m considering gas, hybrid, and electric. Whatever I find that fits my needs. I’m just very ready to downsize from my mega SUV with my kids getting older (driving, going off to college) to an SUV just big enough to fit us when needed with enough room in the back for my dogs. FWIW, I don’t think our infrastructure is ready for us to all go electric, but for those of us with multiple cars…having one electric is probably a decent idea. We have 4 cars (mine, husband’s, oldest child’s, and a fun car that comes out once a week or so).

Yea. Apparently the '14s in particular had severe DPF and related issues. Sorry you went thorough all that.
My '15 has been bomb proof. I beat it to hell.......drive it hard, pull loads often etc. In fact part of the reason I've kept this thing as part of a settlement with the .gov Jeep has applied a warranty to my DPF and related kit to 120,000 mi.
Mine just did a re-gen tonight.
