Just to keep track of them in my head. Cheapest available configuration for announced/available 7-seater EV SUVs in the US:

• R1S: $78k - 260mi
• EV9: $57k - 230mi
• EX90: $77k - TBD - “Up to 300”

Not including the 7-seater Teslas because even if they’re technically SUVs, they IMO too tiny to matter for anyone who actually cares about regularly filling them with people of any size.

As the owner of an EV, I’m a bit worried about depreciation.

As a parent of several children who will be going away to college and likely need cars when they do, I’ve been making mental guesses about how long it’ll be before one of them gets an EV when that happens, because it’s much cheaper than ICE equivalents.

The one that’s going in 3-years? Possibly. 7 years? Quite likely. 11? I’d be shocked if they didn’t leave home with an affordable used EV.
