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?
There are several car reviewers on youtube that specialize in reviews for parents. Most of them will review electric cars as they get the chance. Here are a few of the better known ones.
