Also check your local hospitals you might end up at. Alot of them probably have at least L2 chargers already. You can search via plugshare app or their website. We just got a Bolt EUV and we are waiting for the free L2 install so in the meantime we are just charging at free DCFC stations very doable especially with the faster charging rates of the ID4 . I placed an order for the ID4 a week ago and test drove it yesterday. It's a nicer car than my EUV but I was a little shocked by the lack of rear seat legroom compared to the EUV. We have two child seats and the space looks to be about the same as our rx350. The EUV just has a shockingly spacious interior for the size.

The EUV is certainly tempting. Interesting to hear it has more rear leg room than the ID.4. If it had more cargo space than it does I might go for one, but it seems a bit tight. How has it been working out for you - we currently have one little one, so similar boats there?
So two kids are fine. We went from CR-V to RX350 to EUV. 1 kid is definitely doable just setup the seat on the 40 side of the folding seat and you can flip down the 60 if you need to carry anything. The cargo area can hold 5 packs of Costco tp with the seats up surprisingly. It also comes with a L2 charger for free from the factory and free install of the level 2 plug. It was supposed to replace my Volt but my wife likes driving it better than our Lexus rx350 probably because of Apple car play. That's a picture of two chunky car seats installed and it's adjusted for me 5'10" driving position. No power lift gate or memory seats which kinda sucks but heated and ventilated seats which is really nice in So.Cal summers. The one pedal driving will bring the euv to a stop unlike the id4 and the regen on demand paddle is great when you are driving on the freeway. We are getting 4.4 miles per kwh which is outstanding and 33% more efficient than the id4 but much smaller vehicle. The fast charger is not as fast as ID.4 but it hasn't been a huge inconvenience as there are free fast charger near our routine routes. I feel like the battery can easily beat the factory rating of 247 miles because the guess o meter routinely says we have 260 miles range on an 80% battery. I think the battery has been upgraded but just not officially announced. Regular bolt owners that got the replacement battery have noticed increased range as well. If you can find one at msrp I'd consider it. My brother found a dealer in San Jose that was msrp back in June and we both bought our EUVs there. Drove it down to LA and only charged once for an hour. Going down the grapevine was fun watching all the range getting added back to the battery. $30k well equipped with 247 range is tough to beat. Oh there's an Uber driver discount for $2k as well on the bolts. Cost me $20 for vehicle inspection and 3 hours of time delivering Uber eats which was a fun experience. Sales person didn't even know about it until I showed him. Was very easy to claim just took screenshots of my Uber driver account and texted it to the sales person when I was doing the paperwork. Takes a while for the Uber driver account to activate so keep that mind took about a week between when I signed up and found time to go driving for a few hours. If you have other questions let me know.
