To: Tell It Right

That very true. I have some neighbors who have electric cars and you are right they charge overnight in the garage. The only places I see having future problems is a tenement building in Chicago or places like that. Most normal people won’t have issues at all. I’m in Central Florida.

True that. Now, even with the good climate for the EV's that the southeast is, EV's still aren't for everybody. Like everything else, we're all better off if the Dims don't force it or incentivize it. For example, if you don't drive enough miles there's not enough gas savings to be worth it (my wife and I put 26K miles in our EV in the first year). And even with that, I don't know if I would have bought an EV if it wasn't time to replace my wife's old ICE crossover anyway, and if the EV wasn't a larger project of going solar and trying to make our budget more energy self-sufficient.

For us, the EV and solar brings a peace of mind and less stress in my retirement financial planning because we generate most of the energy we consume (80%). Future energy costs impact us only 20% as much as they would if we didn't have solar and an EV. If it wasn't for that goal, I doubt the other benefits of the EV would have outweighed the cons (at least for me).
