[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an EV and I would never buy one again. First, it has sent our electric bill through the roof - with electricity going up all the time, I'm not sure it's that much less than gasoline! Second, the car needs a lot more maintenance than a regular gas vehicle, and its all much more expensive. The tires must be replaced 2x a year. The battery hasn't needed replacing yet but when it does, it will cost a fortune. Third, the risk of fire is really scary - once they start burning, it's really hard to put them out. For me, I'm counting the months until I can trade it in on a gas vehicle. [/quote]

Troll. There is nowhere in the country where it costs more to operate an EV than a gas car. And no one needs to replace tires 2x a year. And virtually no one is replacing the battery.  There are tens of thousands of Tesla that are over 10 years old on the road and yet you’d struggle to find a few scattered stories of people replacing the battery.

EV maintenance is a fraction of ICE maintenance because the car doesn’t depends on constant explosions to run. Arguing otherwise is just not serious. [/quote]

I'm this poster and it is a BMW iX. Maybe I should have bought a Tesla. [/quote]
