    Yeah when I heard it was equivalent to 100 mpg for most electric vehicles that seems like a no brainer as long as you have access to charge

      Also an unexpected benefit is that if you can home charge, which I can, you’ve got the equivalent of a gas station at home so you’re pretty much always ready to go anywhere within a pretty reasonable distance.

        Yeah I’d only get an ev if you can home charge tbh.

        Is MUCH cheaper, the stations add a significant upcharge on the kWh cost. And you can charge at night when the power is even cheaper

        This only works if your home parking spot is both static and provides an electrical hookup. If you live in a city and need a car, going electric can be a massive pain in the ass, because most apartments in major cities don’t include reliable parking with guaranteed electrical access, much less a garage.

        Source: in Boston, I have multiple friends who want to go electric, but can’t realistically because they only have street parking.
