[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As long as you only charge at home it’s cheaper though cars start off more expensive

And doubt you can keep Tesla running 15 years like my Honda. [/quote]

We bought our 2019 Bolt in early 2021 for $19k. It wasn’t much more expensive than similar ICE vehicles.

Why wouldn’t a Tesla be running after 15 years? [/quote]

Sure a Bolt is probably similar to a Civic, but you are comparing a Chevy to a Honda and paying a premium?  Lots of things can fail besides engine/batteries — those are the bits to worry about. Honestly my parents had GM, and anything electrical (windows, alternator, power seat) were always failing — and now the DRIVETRAIN is electrical?[/quote]

It's not really a drivetrain, it's just a motor. Pretty uncomplicated, electrically and mechanically.[/quote]

So is a window motor, but GM has trouble with those. I think if you factor in the price of a new battery and you still come out on top, then go electric [/quote]

We know tons of people with EVs and none with battery issues. Just cosmetic stuff.

EVs are very simple. DP. [/quote]
