I could rant for ages, but already got downvoted so I'll keep it short. It was the only car I've ever owned to leave me stranded. It did so at least half a dozen times. The 12V battery (which we replaced) would be drained flat by the janky electronics of the car. It would be 100% fine when you park, and the dead when you're done shopping. Eventually I bought a battery charger to top it off every weekend.
We had recall after recall to deal with. I still get notices in the mail and we sold that car two years ago. None of the recalls dealt with any of our problems which were common when googling.
Selling that car for 25% of it's purchase price after 3 years was the final insult, but nobody wanted it and I can't blame them.
For anyone curious, it was a 2013 Ford C-Max Energi.

While it's unfortunate you had so many issues, I think some of them can be chalked up to the risk of being such an early adopter. EVs in 2013 vs 2021 would seem to be quite different machines.
