I own 1 Gas car (Subaru) at a 2nd home (Wyoming) that we have spent a total 1 month so far this year and it has cost me more in gas than owning and charging 2 EV’s (California) full-time.

Please tell me again the advantages of owning a gas car again?

    The amount you spend on gas and electric highly depends on the car and where you drive. In Texas, gas is under $2 a gallon. You need to pay $0.20 per KWh or less to match it. But if you go on a long trip and charge on a Supercharger or Electrify America at $0.48 per KW, it would be equal to paying $5-6 per gallon if you had a good hybrid car. And you would not have to stop frequently to charge, wasting time and money. And be able to go where no EV can without planning ahead or sticking to the planned route. That is why I bought Rav4 Prime. I drive around town for free on electricity because I have solar and I have overproduction. But if I go on a long trip, I use Hybrid mode and save money and time that way.
