Here’s a interesting way that owning an electric vehicle actually worked for my sister: a guy from California came out to Utah to take a management position in the company she works at. He brought out his electric BMW SUV, got concerned when he saw how few charging stations the state of Utah has, and sold it to her for $15,000. This dude must be too rich to care because when he sold it to her, it was a year used and he bought it for like $80,000. Her company parking lot has a few charging stations that they can use for free, she and one other person are the only ones who use it. Works great as a commute vehicle and maybe a run to mini-mart. They have a conventional Ford Explorer that they use on the weekends to go mountain biking and hiking and whatnot. I guess the only question is when to cut it loose because it’s too expensive to maintain. She’ll probably sell it for a song when it needs a new battery.
Really don’t think BMW has an Electric SUV FRIend.
