I barely drive these days since WFH. But when I do more than go get groceries or school drop off, it's for a 7-10 hour drive for a ski trip to Vermont or Quebec. Which would have to involve fast chargers.

Granted, I could probably just drive my wife's Outlander PHEV in that case. But seeing as she just totaled my Volt...

the 2021 Bolt that I drive could probably do that trip with a single 45-minute charge stop in the middle. I know that’s slow compared to a Tesla, but it ends up being fine most of the time

Honestly in your situation I'd wait it out and try to work with one car. The new Ioniq 5 models will have NACS, and plenty of other good things to look forward to for other cars.

yeah we live rural with two teens, so no car isn't much of an option but I'm thinking I'll just buy a cheap used ICE to tide me over until interest rates drop and I can save some $$ and go buy a new EV :-(
had my eye on a used polestar 2 or mustang mach-e, but not sure I can justify debt for that

  Ah yeah kids... With them on the insurance something cheap might be the move indeed.
