I've an electric i use for most running around town.
I paid 8K for one of those shitty little Fiat electrics coming off lease 3 years ago.
I had a buddy buy a shitty used Nissan Leaf for like $5,000 because the battery was degraded so that it only got 70% of original range. He just used it for going to work and back so he didn't have to fuel up the Suburban. He drives that thing all over and loves not putting gas in the Suburban.
Same. I bought it to commute for work. I love not putting gas in it.
In 3 years, i've saved 11k miles on my gas vehicles, the associated fuel, and maintenance costs.
After buying that crap Fiat. Ive paid for 1 set of tires... 450... so i fuigure if it lasts me a couple more years. it has paid for itself in savings on my gas cars.
Damn i love not adding tons of miles to my TT anymore. The 550, needs a starter, its been in the garage for months because ive no motivation to go work on it.
Honest question - what is your monthly electric bill? Mine is outrageous already, and I don't feel like I am wasteful or careless.
