Thinking about getting a EV. Just curious why you got yours. The reasons I can think of are:
- Environmentally friendly 🌵
- Cheaper Fuel ⚡️
- They are cool/trendy 😎
- Lower maintenance 🔧
Is there anything surprising that you found out after you bought it?

Our electricity is much more expensive because we have to pay “penalty rates” for excessive consumption (two EVs in the household). That brings the price up to almost $0.10 per kWh! - the horror! :)
By my math (comparing $/mile of EV versus equivalent gasoline car), I drive for the equivalent fuel cost of gasoline at $0.87 / gallon.
I’m in Connecticut. Electricity is 26 cents /kwH. This is why I got solar.
Solar is a big reason I want an EV. Turn my 3.75 / gallon into nothing.
According to my spreadsheet, with gasoline at $3.75 / gallon, your break-even point (not including maintenance savings) with an EV would be electricity at $0.39 / kWh. So, even if you paid $0.26 / kWh, you’d still be saving money on fuel.
oh for sure. I’m just saying, with panels installed this month, it’s like: OK GIVE ME AN EV NOW
