    I mean not replacing a 20 year old car can cost you more than a monthly payment of a newer car. My ev has been going strong.

    True that. Just got hit with a 2k maintenance bill for my 20 yo vehicle and looking to pivot to an EV. It helps that I don't drive much and work from home but I'm certain that my wife would prefer to drive the EV to and from work rather than her hybrid.

    Yeah, my friends are complaining about $50 a week for gas and I'm around $40 a month for electricity.

    Here, it's like 200€ to 30€ a month if you can charge home. That buys a lot of depreciation.

    The insurance is a lot higher though, so that eats a lot of the benefits.
