My Mach e (a commuter car, I have other gasoline vehicles) is over 2 years old. My out of pocket after tax credit was a little over $50K. I can go 100 miles for $7 of home electricity…but I usually only drive 40 - 50 miles a day with it.

After 2 years my repairs have been tires (the OEM’s were only made to last 15K miles or so) and wiper blades.

I HATE that the gubmint is pushing them on people but I like this car a lot.

The earth? Even if it wasn’t a large mass of inert material it wouldn’t care what I did.

“I can go 100 miles for $7 of home electricity”

[For now]

“Consistent with EPA’s traditional approach to establishing pollution standards for power plants under section 111 of the Clean Air Act, the proposed standards are based on technologies such as
carbon capture and sequestration/storage (CCS)
low-GHG hydrogen co-firing”

https://www.epa.gov/stationary-sources-air-pollution/greenhouse-gas-standards-and-guidelines-fossil-fuel-fired-power

“Base load affected facilities that follow the CCS pathway must meet a second phase standard based on 90% capture of CO2, using CCS, by 2035”

“Baseload affected facilities that follow the low-GHG hydrogen pathway must meet a second phase standard based on co-firing 30% low-GHG hydrogen by volume by 2032 and a third phase standard based on cofiring 96% by volume low-GHG hydrogen by 2038”

Imagine what your future electric bills are going to look like.

I’m curious....how much the replacement tires cost compared to tires for an ICE vehicle? I’ve read they are much more expensive and don’t last as long. True? I have no clue. Thanks.

Yet you bought it because of the tax credit.
