Wow! Impressive! I wish I could get DH to be more open minded about an EV. He’s fixated on the cost of replacing an EV battery but I assume the fuel savings offsets that.
That’s not a real issue. The ev batteries last 15-20 years, most come with a 10 year warranty and manufacturers are moving to 15 years to help the resell value.
So I recently took a trip and had to rent a car. First time filling up with gas in 4 years. I forgot what a pain in the a$$ it is and how expensive gas is. I was thinking of paying for the refill service but the prices looked so high I did not do it. When I was driving around I started looking at gas prices again…the refill price was competitive with the gas stations
