I gas up a 40L tank once a month in climate where -15 happens for about two or three months. The tires are modest as the car doesn’t weigh much. The winter tires last a while and I just switched to my second pair of summers. Maintenance on a gas powered sedan is pretty minimal as my Honda is extremely reliable. I plan to run the car into the ground until the salt eats it alive. There’s a lot of sedans like mine in my neighbourhood and only few have been rushing to electric. I plan to get a Corolla hybrid next if that’s a thing.
Edit: my insurance is more than my gas bill but pretty cheap. All electric cars cost a lot more to insure here because of repair costs I’m guessing

- bee_rider 3y agoI wonder why somebody downvoted you. Off the cuff, running a car to the end and then switching to a hybrid seems fairly environmentally friendly, right? I don’t think we want to prematurely take reasonably recent small cars (since you say your car is light, I assume it is small) off the road if that means building a bunch of new electric ones… especially for someone who drives little enough to gas up once per month.
