bokkem kadu...max for japanese cars you do is oil change for 6 months and filters changes once a year or so...in the past 7 years all i spent would be $1000- 1200 but how much is the premium you are paying for EV?

EV savings only makes sense if you are commuting a lot

Premium? Nothing.

EV is future. But right now it’s a joke. There will br better options in future for sure. Right now, hybrid is best bet.

100 Miles ki 12$ aaaa lol. I get 250 miles for 6$. Also you forget about regular maintenance savings. That’s a big diff 

It offsets itself through high registration and insurance prices. There is no valid justification to say that EVs are any better as of now

I pay normal registration fees. No extra. I pay less insurance than gas cars. It all depends on how bad driver you are. I’m not here to justify about EVs or savings or environment. For me EV is another car and it is neither superior nor inferior to gas car. I don’t know why EV is special. Like hydrogen and lpg cars, evs are diff energy source to pull your vehicle. Most of EV hatred comes from Tesla and Elon musk.

 

im just tired of people calling out EVs and making it a big deal.

 I have a luxurious bmw and within one year they said I need to pay 1500 for regular maintenance. EVs are not luxury cars. In particular Tesla is not a luxury vehicle. It’s overpriced for a reason. If you go Model s and x, they are beginning models. When you are new company, make a pricey car and lure people into buying. Once you get cash, make affordable car and enter midrange industry. Model 3 was visioned to be a 35000 and due to demand during pandemic he played around with prices. Adding buttons and some alacantra cloth doesn’t make a car premium. Tesla is a tech car company. Their premium is in the technology and motors. No company can beat that now. May be in future. Again I’m not justifying Tesla. That’s the strategy of business. Research about lucid company.

Smart thing to do is never go to a dealer for maintenance or out of warranty repairs. Find a good German indy where you live and build a relationship 

I drive a 435 GC

Power prices are expensive in CA but in other states it is half, I pay $.30 for 1KWH, on 1 KWH I can travel 3.5 miles, 100/3=30 KWH x 0.30 = $9, other states lo idi <$5

gas price where I live is$5.30, 20 miles per galleon anukunna, 5 gallons kavali which is $27

conclusion is that it is a bogus article, even hybrid anukunna 3 gallons kavali 

I pay 9 cents...less than a third hehe.

Nightly charging petkunte garage lo... full charge ki it wont go beyond 5-6$. This is as per rates in Georgia.

Gas saving and other expenses like oil change, fluids, engine related expenses are zero.
