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?

    According to my spreadsheet, with gasoline at $3.75 / gallon, your break-even point (not including maintenance savings) with an EV would be electricity at $0.39 / kWh. So, even if you paid $0.26 / kWh, you’d still be saving money on fuel.
