Again, a whole lotta room between $675 and $3,000. I’ll gladly take the operating cost advantage of an EV for day-to-day driving and family stuff and save the loud and rowdy petro-burning activities for my fun cars (Camaro and MR2). The money I save versus a gas CUV can go a long way towards keeping my gassy guys fed, polished, and happy.
