I currently drive Nissan Ariya 87kw. My car before this was Polestar 2. In terms of driving experience, Polestar wins hands down. It is after all from Volvo. The main thing I dislike about Polestar is that the chasis is from Volvo XC40, an ICE car. Hence, you get a transmission tunnel and ackwardly small driver's cabin.
With Ariya, I can get approx 380km to 400km on a full charge but this would depend driving style, traffic and weather. I have a home charger and charges overnight.
There are things that I have to keep in mind that wouldnt cross my mind if I have an ICE car, such as:
1. I always try to keep the car's state of charge when at home to at least 85% for emergency reasons that would require me to make long distance/ multi trips
2. Trips need to be planned be it long or short distance, to map out charging points..range anxiety is real folks!.
3. Public charging can take time,depending on capacity and also chargers themselves may not be available or operational.

Heard there is already have 15mjns Fast Charge?
Heard, end of the year? Tigo Pro PHEV?
So, it's still a transition period? No one dare to traveling far or to kampung with EV?

IMHO, current charging infrastructure does not allow for someone to have EV as the only/main car especially if your kampong is not in one of the big cities.
there are apps such as Zapmap or even the car native's gps/google map that can help find public charger. The main problem I found however is that either the charger is occupied or not working.
