More reasons why I’ll be keeping my ICE until I have to get an EV again. Total operational cost per month is about 300-400. My Tesla was nice (but cost me about 1500/mo) maybe by the time I have to get a new car the interior quality will be much better.
- hotpotamus 4y agoI would think that the ongoing ownership costs of an EV would be less than ICE - energy is cheaper, no oil changes, way less fluids that need to be replaced, brake systems are supposed to last longer, etc... A battery replacement could kill most of that but I've also heard that there are Teslas used as taxis that have done several hundred thousand miles on their factory batteries, so it might not be the biggest issue. If I was looking at two identical cars on the lot for the same price, but one was an EV and one was ICE, I'd pick EV today no hesitation.
- mradek 4y agoFor sure. My next car will be an EV. Maybe a model X if I am financially able.
