Yeah I drive about 40 miles a day and pay about $20 per month. I would have had to pay $350/month or so with an equivalent gas vehicle.
reply350 how? my subaru gives me 30 mpg in the city.
replySUV and California gas prices?
replysuv? crostrek is an suv and all suvs in that class seeem to have even better milage than my old crostrk.
replyAnd most SUVs aren’t a crosstrek. There are valid point of comparison that aren’t your car.

reply...which are going for $50k-$75k USED.
Did you forget to amortize that number or is it included in the $20? Will you pay off the loan in the year 2326?
A new gas F150 isn’t that far off they cost roughly 50,000 as well which is what my truck cost, new. I had a three-year interest free loan. It’s all paid off.
replyWTF do you drive, a RAM 2500? If the gallon is $4, the $350 is 90 gallons.
replyA RAM 2500 gets 12 city. 40 miles city per day over a month would be 100 gallons, which at today’s average price in California is $565.20/mo
replyThey’re doing a bit better than that.
$5/gallon, cheap af.
replyGas is around $5.50 here in Seattle. Lots of unknowns to consider.
replyIgnoring that your math doesn't add up at all, whenever someone tells me how much money they are saving per month by switching to EV, they always conveniently leave out the $35k-$80k cost of the car plus new tires every $often miles, while my fuel-efficient ICE car is paid off. Oil changes twice a year, buy oil in bulk at Costco.
replyHilariously, Trump will go down as the most significant POTUS in history for the transition away from oil.
replyEveryone in the world (except our very own kakistocracy) is scrambling to decouple from this energy source.
You were brave, but nothing can stop the inevitable downvotes lol
