I bought an electric car.
Now when I drive by the gas station I couldn't care less how much gas costs!
I've never tasted such freedom.
Do you have any range issues? Forget to charge it?
When I still had a car, it was never an issue except on long road trips. You plug the car in every evening, and wake up with a "full tank".
On long road trips, I charged during bathroom and lunch breaks, and did a little preplanning on the route. Still not a major issue.
Ironically, I almost ran out of gas the next time I rented an ICE car, because I totally forgot that refueling was a thing you had to do.
I have to be very proactive about where super chargers are.
I live in Georgia USA and there's a bunch of dead zones without chargers still. But there hasn't been any single time where I was unable to charge and I drive A LOT!
I haven't forgotten to charge, at least not yet!
What I have had an issue with is installing a home charger. Electricians have given me estimates estimates ranging from 2500 to 10,000. Like wtf!
I've owned one for 3 years now. My only maintenance costs were a $10 tire rotation and filling up wiper fluid. Even better, the park by my house where I walk my dog has free solar charging!
Same here. i pay less on the downpayment, and power consumption in a month. Then what I used monthly in fuel only on the old thirsty petrol car.
Scratching the surface compared to an ebike. Virtually 0 fuel/maintenance cost. No insurance/registration AND parking.
Nice. How do you like charging at home / at stations? Are charging stations sometimes a pain? I haven't seen many but I'm also not actively looking out for them but from what I've heard it's all expanding nicely.
I'm looking to trade in aTacoma for a Ford F150 lightning or some other electric pickup since 99.9% of the time it's just used to drive around town.
I've been having some issues getting the plug installed. I've gotten estimates across the board from 1600 bucks to 8k! But I'll get it taken care of eventually.
I live in Georgia USA and there are plenty of dead areas for chargers unlike California where you can't spit without getting it on a fast charger.
If you get a level 2 charger installed in your house it is completely possible to charge only at your house.
Chevy is releasing the Silverado and Suburban fully electric along with the Equinox. It's worth a consideration.
