I'll be considering both BEV and hybrids next time. But right now I think I'll be expecting to use it mostly for commuting, and charging it only at home, so I don't care very much about charging station availability. If I need a vehicle for a long road trip, renting one makes more sense anyway.

I'm leaning towards BEV, because I'm eager to have less maintenance to worry about. On the other hand, my current (gas-using) car is a model year 2000, and I'd like to have my next car for a long time, too, so I want to hear more about battery life advances. If a battery replacement 10 years or so down the line is the only major maintenance expense besides tires, that seems like a pretty good tradeoff. My parents had to have the battery replaced on their hybrid a while back, and they still seem to think it was a good deal.
