I have been driving an ID3 for 6 months and have not regretted it to this day. As in the comment of Sascha, I charge my car only at home, which is already a huge comfort. With the PV system and the GHG quota I have very low costs, also the tax is not applicable (with the Kona certainly 250 euros). I also think that for most e-car owners, the public charging station is just an exception. With the range, you can get along well. Many take that as an argument, but would have no concern with 99 out of 100 trips. If you do have to charge at a public charging station, it's relatively quick and doesn't take forever. I'm clearly in favor of electric cars and can only recommend that everyone test drive them for a week.

Unfortunately, this illustrates another problem. Without home ownership, the described case is not feasible. In addition, one quickly forgets the acquisition costs of photovoltaics and the resulting return on investment. A number of factors come together here: 1. home ownership (not everyone has the money) 2. photovoltaics (not everyone has the money) 3. additional price of the vehicle and the question of the used car market (not everyone has the money).

•A PV system pays for itself much faster with an electric car, which increases the return on investment. You also have acquisition costs with combustion. Not everyone owns their own home, right. The mix is perfect for me, because I have everything electric at home (heating, hot water). I pay 120 euros per month to the public utility and get 80 euros every month. Whether the electric car is worth it, everyone must calculate for themselves.
