It’s not saving the planet. CO2 is a vital trace gas and we need more of it. it’s saving me money and it’s saving the useable life of my gas cars by doing the short runs that are hard on ICE cars.

I have a 13 year old ice car with about ~95K miles on the odometer. I've driven it constantly for short trips to work and shopping since I've owned the car. I make occasional road trips a couple of time a month, but the vast majority of my driving is short road trips. I am still on my second battery..

That’s great for you, and you must live in a very temperate climate. Folks that live in AZ have to change their battery every year or two; they get baked in the heat. In PA where I live there are other problems, including 4 seasons.

But your own individual experience or not, short drives are hardest on gas cars.

None of my gas cars have less than 60K miles on them and I want to keep them around for as long as possible. The youngest one is probably 10 years old.
