What you've described sounds more appropriate for an electric bicycle than a full-size van.
If someone only needs to travel < 30 kms per day (per sunny day), then they can fill up the tank on an IC engine for $100 and be set for a month.
- kragen 4y agoYou can probably live in a van for less than US$100 per month. You can't live in an electric bicycle at all.

- kragen 4y agoYeah, at that level of expenditures it's an asset you're consuming, not an investment you expect to grow over time. If you have big repairs you may be better off buying a new one; I kind of wish I'd done that.

BTW by "avoid annoying sedentists" upthread I meant "avoid annoying the sedentists", not "avoid the annoying sedentists".
