Ever since we got rid of our more-or-less family cars and got a “real” van I’m not going back. We’re driving a Mercedes eVito (which is an electric Metris in the US, iirc) but just any will do. Family travels need space. I got so tired of having to prioritise beach shovels and frisbees against each other; being able to simply throw anything we want to take into the trunk is godsent. Driving around whole birthday parties is just so much better than asking neighbours for a taxi service. And yeah, I wouldn’t ever go back to combustion engines, but I guess that’s a matter of preference.
