That's the allure for me. I can choose to buy what I can afford and then at a later date add other options myself as I want them or need them. But the range is an issue for me as a rural person where a trip to a clinic is 100 mile round trip. And if I need more, then it becomes a 200+ mile trip.

Right, the Ford focus I bought for $17k in 2018 goes 350 or so miles on a full tank. I want at least that much range to consider a replacement.

Plus yeah, we're rural enough chargers aren't everywhere. Hopefully the range will be better and more chargers in a few years... And probably will keep the focus for the long cross county road trips.
