Problem is that EV (at least in CA) has huge upfront opportunity cost, depreciation, $500/yr registration, and hefty insurance cost because it’s a $40-$50k car.

Problem is that EV (at least in CA) has huge upfront opportunity cost, depreciation, $500/yr registration, and hefty insurance cost because it’s a $40-$50k car. It’s going to take a lot of ~$0.10 miles (like 50k/yr?) for a $170/yr registration, $25/mth insurance 10 year old Prius to cost as much as an EV. Granted: new vs. used car, and used EV will become cost efficient in a few more years.
