So us renters who drive long distances every day - when can we expect to come home to a 1k mi range EV and discover our landlord installed an EV charging system and new heat pumps? Because that sounds like a pretty awesome day.
- eulers_secret 3y agoThis is me, I'm a renter and my complex will never install chargers. I've tried, it's a no-go. That said, 50MPG vehicles are common these days. My '07 Prius gets 48, measured, a newer Camry/Accord/Sonata hybrid will get ~50MPG as well. Add an openpilot driving system and it's almost like a private train car. I drive 80 miles round trip, 5x a week for work. That works out to ~$2000/yr for gasoline. That's really not that bad at all! Just don't drive a crossover or truck as your daily. I'll probably never buy electric, because I don't want to buy a house (just not for me) and I don't think apartments will install a charger-per-spot (personal requirement). That's OK, hybrid is pretty great. On the heat pump side, I only have to heat 700 sqft - it requires little energy and is so little cost-wise I don't even track it.
