Is it a good time to consider buying an EV?

Is it a good time to consider buying an EV? Or should I wait to see if they can improve further the range?

It depends on your use. There's certainly been an influx of EVs on the market over the last 12 months and real-life range is getting longer. If you can charge at home and most of your journeys are within the range of an EV, now could be the right time. The Hyundai Kona Electric is particularly impressive with its range of up to 279 miles.
