    I was pleasantly surprised the EV and Hybrid deduction was still available in the USA for 2025.

    Plug in hybrids are shit BTW, just go for regular hybrid or full electric.

    It depends on the plug-in hybrid. Mine has a big enough battery that it runs as an EV until you run out of battery (usually after 40 miles). Works great for day to day city driving where I regularly get 1000 miles before having to refuel. And if you are doing long road drives, acts as a standard gas powered vehicle.

    You are right, plug in hybrids are shit but normal hybrids are shittier. No car >>>>>> EV>plug in> ICE (this includes hybrids)

    Again, anything is better than ICE

    Plugless hybrids are ICEs that need more resources to be produced. They are a marketing lie.

    Eh. My Prius is almost 20 years old. I'd rather keep driving it than buy a new vehicle, even if the new vehicle took less resources to produce. I'm well past the break-even point.

    Why? Isn't it nice to be able to go to the store and back with no gas?

    The manufacturers lied their asses off about how efficient they actually are from what I've read.

    As a daily driver of a 19 volt I can confidently say I only buy gas if I go out of town. My standard driving never goes above the ~40 miles of full electric range.

    Yeah literally never using gas is great

    This is why I love bicycles. Be careful if you never ever use the fuel though, you might need to add a stabilizer or something if it goes unused for too long.

    I have an EV. Yay my fuel price isn't changing. But only for my car. Everything else is shipped using mostly gas. So that all goes up. Buy local. Thankfully the last year has increased local production of many necessary items. Continue avoiding buying anything American since Trump continues to make life more difficult for everyone in the world.

    Naw, that shit will affect every crevice of the economy. I’ve already had to increase certain areas of my budget three times within the last several months because inflation has gone up an insane amount in a short time. The only saving grace is that where I live winter is almost over.

    Off-topic: is the dude in the picture the same actor like 'The Baron' from 'What we do in the Shadows'?

    Most people who drive ICE cars can't afford fancy hybrids or EVs.

    Real classy looking down on them, but I guess the image fits.

    I live in an apartment building. Kinda hard to have an EV with no way to charge it. Would definitely like one though.

    The ones I see around my complex just have like a communal charger from a local business lol, it's doable if people can come together and agree on something like that
