is how I feel about electric cars..should be someone's choice not forced on me..in my eyes.. many of them u have to have some money..they have more maintenance insurance goes up..people don't like to talk about that shit.. fuck that..
I used to have the same thoughts until I did the math and purchased one. When I was living in Metro Atlanta, I was driving roughly 35 miles each way to and from work. My employer had EV chargers that we could use for free. The savings I realized in cost for gasoline was enough to cover about 90% of the car note, including costs for charging at my home. My insurance was not that much more than my other vehicles; it was maybe $60.00 more per month on average.
Up here in Vancouver, Washington, premium gasoline is about $4.50/gallon. Luckily, my employer provides subsidized EV charging stations. If the math did not work in my favor, I would not have purchased one. So far, maintenance has been about the same as my non-EV car.
Others may have different results. However, this is my situation. When it is time to purchase another car, I will crunch numbers and make my decision based on the math... again.
