I am looking to buy my first EV, it will end up as our second car and probably our primary vehical for our growing family. I have been looking at reviews and test driving when I have time.

One thing that has been getting to me about the reviews is they focus so much on how sporty the car is, especially it’s acceleration. Thing is, I live in a big city and don’t particularly care about that kind of thing. Yeah, I get that the tech for an EV is inherently more tuned for that, but it’s like every review is “It’s so fast!”.

They also compare to Tesla a lot, but as this would be my first EV, it doesn’t really mean a lot to me and I am not particularly interested in Tesla.

Seems like the things I really want to know never really get talked about - how does it hold up with kids? can it fit car seats without a hassle? How frustrating are the controls I actually use (climate, environment, lights, wipers, etc)?

Are there any resources aimed at just the normal every day experience in the car?
