[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some EVs include a tax credit for $7500. Did you factor that in? Also less maintenance -- no oil changes, spark plugs, etc needed.[/quote] I tend to keep my cars for about 10 years. In that 10 years, an electric will need a new battery pack which will make up for a lot of the regular maintenance cost difference [/quote] A Tesla battery can last 10 years. After that, I would replace the car rather than get a new battery. I think there is a not a huge cost savings, but the convenience of charging at home and not using gas is a big benefit to me, as well as not having to do much maintenance. I wanted to get a hybrid, but my DH is convinced it's more hassle with both battery and ICE systems to maintain. [/quote]
