I am up to about 10K miles on my Hyundai Ioniq 5. It is just plain fun to drive. For the geeks in the crowd, it can charge at about 240Kw, delivered as 800V with 300Amps. That pretty much gets me out of the charging station in about 15 minutes. I have taken it to the snow a few times and with the AWD does just fine. It does go through charge pretty quickly in cold weather so some planning is required.

I think the best use for the EV is home charging and driving around town. I have done a few road trips, but the charging stops add significant time to the trips. Some EV vendors will provide a loaner ICE car for longer trips.

And yes, ICE cars also have problems in extreme cold weather.
