True, although there is also the advantage of convenience - all the time recovered from NOT having to go either fetch the materials and do teh maintainence yourself or bring the vehicle to the dealer/service station and wait. Count it as two hours each time, and it's easily 20 hours saved, more than half a work week that you are now free to do something else
- lotsofpulp 4y agoGood point. Really depends what the difference in up front cost is. Anything more than $5k, and I think ICE is still prudent if you are not driving at least 15k miles per year. Plus, ICE are time tested. The new EVs coming out have a lot of unknown risks and reputation to still build up. I do not mind letting others beta test.
- toss1 4y agoyup, excellent points about the price delta and beta/gamma testing. I'm really enthusiastic about the technology, but will likely wait until my relatively good condition auto degrades and the EVs keep improving.
