I own 1 Gas car (Subaru) at a 2nd home (Wyoming) that we have spent a total 1 month so far this year and it has cost me more in gas than owning and charging 2 EV’s (California) full-time.
Please tell me again the advantages of owning a gas car again?
We have an Outlander PHEV.
As an experiment, we did a fast DC charge at a CHaDMO station, which was $15CAD for a 65 km charge.
After running the numbers, that’s twice as much as the same distance on gas.
It’s the home charging (and short trips) that makes the EV part work. As soon as you outdistance the electricity that came out of your house, gas is half as expensive.
Which is why I think the hybrid is the way to go if you ever have to go any real distance.
