We calculated the cost of an EV, a hybrid or a gas powered replacement car. We could afford any of them. Decided to simply drive much less, group necessary trips and live more simply. Thus we choose the much cheaper gas powered but one that right now is getting us over 35 miles per gallon. We fill up at max once a month.

Got to just ignore comments about lifestyle that do not fit your own plan and life. A friend has an EV and they plan on an EV truck. BUT, they also have massive solar panels and do not rely on power plants to power their cars or home. I just ignore the comments on why we should think about an EV.
