Boris Johnson, shame on you.
I’ve owned several Fords. Definitely spent more repairing each than initial acquisition cost (none much exceeding 250,000 miles). Lots of thousand-dollar-ish repairs.
I’ve owned a Nissan Leaf. Only for 2 years, so yeah it was in that sweet starting spot. Pretty clear that it would continue not needing repairs for a long time, and when it rarely did would only need a straightforward replacement.
I’ve ordered a Cybertruck, figuring that between savings on gas and repairs it will have rather less total cost of ownership - and far less hassle. Biggest problem will just getting tired of it after a half million miles and it still likely going strong with no excuse to get rid of it.
Did not know that...thanks for the information. Name the subject...there’s a Freeper who has first hand knowledge of it.
I strip away the old debris / that hides a shining car/ a brilliant red Barchetta / from a better vanished time/ we’ll fire up the willing engine / responding with a roar / tires spitting gravel / I commit my weekly crime...
The U.S. doesn't require underground tanks. Most tanks are above ground at smaller stations because if they are underground they require very expensive leak monitoring systems. Big stations and truck stops will have underground tanks but most at most smaller stations in my area they're above ground. That might change by state but it's not a U.S. requirement.
I think most folks believe we will eventually run out of fossil fuels so getting an alternative in place as soon as reasonably possible is prudent. Yes; fossil fuels still create the electric power needed to recharge e-vehicles but that can change as well when technology comes with other ways like safe fusion or something.
