I don’t own, I lease. You don’t want to own an EV because the battery technology is moving so quickly that a now 110 mile range on a Nissan Leaf will be bumped up to 135 miles next model year.
KIA’s soul is literally already there and Tesla is saying they’re coming up with one that will hover around 200 miles on a full charge in two years.
The batteries are just like a cell phone—lithium ion. So they break down and don’t go as far with time. I have a 2 year lease so it won’t matter but for those who own the replacement cost is up around $8,000 last I heard. Not feasible at all.
The way to go is a lease IMHO. I didn’t realize how much time I wasted filling up and going to the gas station until I got my Leaf. If your commute is under 45 miles, it’s worth a look. Blink is selling level 2 charging stations like crazy around the Southeast—cost of 2¢/30 seconds to charge where I live. Or you can plug it up at home at let it charge on your 100 amp service.
Thanks for the info.
