I just flew in to KC and waiting on an incoming flight to take it to Philly.
If I can get an EV for a decent price, and after an EV maker has made a truck that has been out on the road enough to be tested, I'll get one. Especially now that I've swapped my remaining natural gas appliances to electric ones (to avoid natural gas prices spiking by switching to electric, which though also spiking I'm avoiding over half of with my solar system). Let me go through a whole year with an all electric house powered by my solar system to see how may excess kWh's I have in excess per week in the winter and in the spring. That's also part of the math before I buy an EV: what percentage of the driving throughout the year would be "free" from solar.
Don't get me wrong. I'm 100% against the forced conversion to EV's that the Dims are pushing. I'm just saying few things have made me feel more libertarian than investing to retire later even when I'll still be in my 50's (and not be dependent on the Dims' promises to "means test" social security) then later making the energy portion of my budget less dependent on federal and state bureaucrats making it so that only Big Energy make money (like when Biden blocks drilling so that the small oil and natural gas companies no longer have access, letting only the Big Energy cronies make money and jack up prices).
If solar and an EV won't work for you, I wouldn't get it. I'm just trying to get the word out that sometimes solar and sometimes an EV is good for the individual (or family) and if so, helps us be a little more independent from gubment whims. It's kind of like sex and the church: if we Christians never talk about sex then the only versions of sex that people hear are the worldly versions. With solar power and EV's, if libertarian minded people like me let the Dims be the only ones talking about green energy then very few people will realize it might actually be good for them to take ownership of their energy production and make themselves a little more independent from government. Not forcing it. Not green energy at the utility level (failure Exhibit A the snow storm blackout in Texas, failure Exhibit B people of California experiencing scheduled blackouts, failure Exhibit C people in many areas having doubled power bills from the extra costs their utility put into "green" energy). But my solar power made at my direction, customized for us and our energy habits, has so far been green on my budget and made me grumble less when the Dims jack up energy costs.
Even if utility prices go up just 3% per year my system will pay for itself in about 13 years, with the solar panels having a 25 year warranty and the batteries a 19 year warranty. And all of that is with me getting a low interest rate loan to pay for most of it. I didn't do it for that reason, tough. I make a much nicer return on investments in simple mutual funds. I did it as an insurance in case the Dims make energy costs go up a lot more than 3% (like they've done lately). It's part of a full financial plan of not only being wealthy (our net worth is a little over a million now, probably 2.5 million when I retire, not too shabby for living in low cost of living Alabama), but being able to maintain a budget in retirement for years that doesn't have expenses jump sky high after I retire (at least not the expenses I can control, as with making most of the energy I consume so I don't have to buy as much). THAT is what solar is to me. And THAT is why I'm thinking of buying an EV if I can get one for a good price.
But if it won't work for you I wouldn't do it.
