I'm loving it because it's pushing used ICE prices down -> I can upgrade soon and all the new EV sales means that thanks to EVs already extreme depreciation, I can get a nice 2026 EV for 80% off in 8 years.
80% off seems pretty in line with even ICE vehicles today.
8 years is a lot of $ on gas. We just went from $600 a month in gas to $50 in electricity. So I'll be laughing all the way to the bank with those savings.
Well most of us don't drive 5 hours a day. At the average person's annual mileage, getting an 60k EV to replace a 2k ICE pays off in about 15-20 years in fuel costs, which is why I'd never buy one new.
