I’m a gearhead. What fucking EV are you talking about? A brand new cybertruck? Lucid Air?
A Chevy Bolt can be had for under $10k and gets 4 miles per KWh on a bad day. I live in Spokane, which I’d consider the INW (inland northwest), but close enough to the PNW, where my electricity costs about 14 center per KWh. So for 14 cents I can go 4 miles. For $3.50 I can go 100 miles.
In a gasoline car that gets a respectable 50mpg, I could go roughly 50 miles for $3.50, considering Idaho fuel prices. If I filled up in Washington, I wouldn’t get close to 50 miles.
If I made 200k/yr, I could afford to buy two chevy bolts per year, and still be spending less than a conservative 10% of my income on car purchases, not to mention the savings on fuel. I’m guessing a used Nissan leaf would be even cheaper.
