  • Still can’t afford it. I’d love to get a EV, but why spend $30,000+ when I can buy a gasser for just a couple thousand? Even penciling some quick math. I recently bought a 1999 Nissan pathfinder for $900, did some repairs to it to make it reliable, cost $450 in parts. I drive 28 miles a day minimum. Fuel economy is about 17mpg on this old thing. Fuel is about $4.50 here. Calculating if I drove literally every day and averaged about 10,000 miles a year I’m still spending only about $2700 in gas a year. That means I’d have to drive about 11 years to make up the value of even a $30k EV. Doesnt make sense yet. Where are these affordable Ev’s at yet?
