I guess I should have pointed out that I’m used to getting about 25K miles on tires in my 6-cyl ICE pickup (which weighs a hair more than our EV crossover) and the tires costing $150 each. Since EV’s are supposed to be a lot worse for tires, in my math for whether or not to get an EV for my wife I had budgeted for replacing tires every 12K miles. Thus, tire expense on the EV is one of the things that’s better than I anticipated. (To be fair, there are some one-time expenses for an EV I didn’t anticipate, such as buying a J1772 extension cord for if we stay at a hotel with a Level II charger and another car is blocking the charger.)
Up here in northern Alberta it just doesn’t make sense. The technology isn’t there yet. Although I’ll say I’m all for it. The more EVs, the better it is for the oil and gas sector for a myriad of reasons.
