An EV can make sense for many. I was driving 16000 for work a few years back in 3 different gas hogs. Average MPG in ZL1 was 17, 2500HD was 12, EXT was 13 so average them out to 14MPG. 16000\14=1142 gallons. 1142x$4.50 per gallon=$5140. That’s one year, 4 years later that’s a $20000 plus gas cost. Obviously a more economical gas vehicle would change numbers a lot, cost of EV makes a big difference too. To many variables and it’s different for everyone. I just don’t think we need to go further in debt to push folks toward EV’s at this point. There is already a demand for any vehicles because they aren’t on dealer lots. If they only make EV’s, that’s what people will buy. Just wish the gov wouldn’t spend so much picking winners and losers. Billions in tax credits going to folks who don’t need the assistance, building an EV infrastructure, battery development and manufacturing all the while growing the debt and increasing transportation expenses for the lower middle class.
