How far is your commute? What's your budget? What are your goals like EV range and power? How are you planning to use electric vs gas? Any reason why you're not going full EV?

I know you want to use the Suburban, but you'd really be much better off with a different vehicle. The Suburban is a heavy brick, meaning you'll need more power and more kwh of batteries to have the same performance of a smaller vehicle. Using a Suburban as a one person commuter isn't very efficient no matter what the fuel is. Even an S-10 or Ranger would be better.
