Thinking about getting a EV. Just curious why you got yours. The reasons I can think of are:

  • Environmentally friendly 🌵
  • Cheaper Fuel ⚡️
  • They are cool/trendy 😎
  • Lower maintenance 🔧

Is there anything surprising that you found out after you bought it?

    The credits. $7500 federal + $3000 state w/ $30000 EV = a commuter vehicle for $19.5K that will save us $10K more in fueling costs over 5 years. That makes it effectively $15K cheaper than a Civic over vehicle lifetime.

    The next one might be a harder sell over an ICE… Bolt going away and nothing else within $8K of that price after incentives. Closest thing is a model 3 RWD and I won’t be buying a Tesla.
