I just thought it would be cheaper
The ride now gets 630 km on $60 ( have to double check) But yes , cost of maintenance and raising gas prices still to consider.
Don’t get me wrong, love your purchase. The high commander has been discussing making the switch to Ev , it’s that initial buy in price that’s getting me.
I mathed it out for me last year based comparing an edge ST to the Mach E. with the gas prices at the time it worked out to be pretty much the same money to pay for the edge AND the estimated fuel cost for 5 year, to just pay for the extra cost of the Mach E.
all charging cost would be extra as would all oil changes ect.
as fuel prices go up the math would get better but my concern is long term costs. my last edge got me to almost 300 000k, with nothing but oil changes brakes and a couple wheel bearings.
as more options hit the market hopefully prices will get more reasonable and gently used becomes an option. but im also reading about used Teslas needing new batteries at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars.
Exactly!
Savings seem “theoretical “ to me at this point
I.e $75g ( I think Tesla website)compared to my $50 g vehicle / $25g in the hole
It’s not like I get a cheque upfront lump sum for 10yr+ savings (ev vs my gas vehicle)
And even after 10+ yrs of use compared to my gas vehicle if I managed to save 25g over that period I’m just braking even( purchase price) - wouldn’t even see that “ savings”.
- maybe loooonnngg term ev use ok (savings)but if you got say “ half tank or quarter tank” of life left I don’t know if I’ll ever make the switch at this point.
The government will think up ways to put it's sticky fingers into the EV owner's pockets, when the timing is right. Eventually EV owners will pay a road tax, which falls solely on ICE owners. I wouldn't be surprised down the road at home charging stations will require a separate meter for charging.
Well not only that I’m afraid I may be “enticed “, $2/3+L gas, auto manufacturers producing EV only or mandating EV .
Everyone wants some return on their investment ( tech)
Maybe I’m not an Ev guy anyway, never once looked at it as “save the planet” perspective, only through “ my wallet” perspective :)
