My point is, a used model 3 or similar EV depreciates a lot faster than a civic hybrid, so a typical 3 year old off-lease buyer will find that both of those cars cost about the same amount of money. And sure electricity cost in California is through the roof but so is gasoline right? It’s a full dollar and a half per gallon higher than Texas according to GasBuddy. Let’s not forget about overnight off-peak EV rates that are half or less than the day rates. And then you get other benefits to EV ownership like a reduced maintenance schedule, no oil changes, if you have charging at home you never go to a gas station again unless you’re on a long trip. Saves you time.
