    disingenuous

    ofc. i dont plan on convincing u either. people with a reasonable mind would judge my opinion based on scientific facts, not by sentiment. sure a Tesla is cooler when u can drive 40km for 1$, while a 30mpg gasoline car would cost three times as much to cover the same distance. But piggybacking on cheap utility electricity isnt a valid reason to act like u r preserving the environement. u bought an Ev because it were cheaper to run, albeit the higher costs to be paid upfront

        Who cares why they bought it. We don’t run on values. You are a nonsense talker.

        Facts have vanquished you. Now begone troll

        sorry i was talking about Tesla. no offense but also a leaf with a 24kwh isnt enough for battery, and charging at 0.5$/kwh and beyond isnt viable really. maybe u should have studied the running costs in ur location, including the electrical utility prices etc…(40km for 1$ thats with 0.13$/kwh in the us, 90km with 21kwh in a Tesla(222wh/km), so prices arent the same everywhere)

          My commute has only ever been about 40 miles round trip. It’s been the best car purchase I’ve ever made, in decades of buying vehicles. Sure, I’m not taking any road trips in it, but there are easy ways around that. I actually budgeted an extra $200 on my electric bill, about what I spent on gas on my other vehicle, and it just wasn’t even close to that. Well, getting closer these days, but the cost of electricity has gone up a bit. Still, financially, a great deal.
