Their most expensive electricity scenario is 20c/kWh. Maybe that was realistic when the article was written 5 years ago, but electricity is definitely more expensive than that in California now, even with a special EV rate plan.

- the_sleaze9 3y agoTruthfully, if electricity is getting that expensive in your area, your very first move should be to put some solar panels on your roof not buying a new car. Not always an option for all people but that's what I'd be doing in that situation.
- nkingsy 3y agoYep, make sure to install a $50k solar system in your 3 million dollar SFH, then they’re super cost effective, and for everyone!! I’d say my used 2016 X with free supercharging was a good deal but in the year I’ve owned it I spent $2k on repairs for things like the drivers window falling down and the f**ing wing door failing to register as locked and beeping incessantly while driving. That’s not to mention the horrible ride quality, 10k depreciation and the $3k aftermarket fix for halfshaft and tire wear problems. But at least I can fry the battery for free.
