I can see a household with two cars, one electric for commuting to work and the other when you need a real car/truck.
But it won’t be anytime soon.
A new Honda Civic gets 42mpg, is maintenance free for about 100,000 miles other than oil changes and tires. And it will run for at least 200,000 miles.
It will cruise on the hiway at 80mph.
And they cost less than $19,000.
For a darn nice little car.
How does anybody’s electric vehicle exceed that value quotient?
“I can see a household with two cars, one electric for commuting to work and the other when you need a real car/truck.”
That’s what we did for 2 years. Leaf EV + Explorer SUV. Former for daily commute, latter for thousand-mile trips.
Intend to resume that life when the Tesla 3 comes out (twice the price of your Civic, but a lot nicer and the SUV is long paid off).
