Overview:

Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

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.

Not if you aren’t diving a Tesla. My 2023 Nissan is only 20% more than my 2017 Kia.
