Well “new” for me. I bought a used 2016 Chevy that used to be a fleet vehicle. Got it for like $8000 and it gets 33mpg which I love.

I did seriously consider getting an electric, but since I need a car for long term road trips? I don’t think an electric would be good right now.

Lke if I need to drive from Idaho to Wisconsin, how would I do that with an electric?

    I drove 7 hours yesterday without issue in my ev. Even at the highest EV charger cost its about 80% cheaper at the moment, but mostly I charge at home for free.

    I travel nationwide constantly.

      What EV? How far do you typically travel? I’ve found the payments offset the fuel costs in a fantastic way for the new one I bought a couple of months ago

        Kia. I’d travel all over frequently, its onlyever a hassle because chargwrs need accounts instead of all being interoperable and I am locked in to a poor quality provider. Energy is energy but their rfid is shit.
