Other vehicle is a Kia Optima. It gets about 28-32 mpg. It is driven to and from work (about 9 miles one way through town, M-F but there are some days the wife works from home) and anywhere else we go that doesn't need a truck to haul stuff. Still think your oil and maintenance estimate is way high. And, of course, I ride a motorcycle as much as I can during the warm weather months. Yeah, no, still cheaper than buying a new electric vehicle, especially when you add in the insurance and property tax. And really, where are you going to find a EV for 20k? |

But of course always having a new vehicle is expensive. And if you keep a vehicle long enough, you eventually will get expensive repairs that will bump up the long term average. A lot of drivers tend to under estimate just how much it costs in the long term. Until they do something like try and make a living driving for Uber. |

If you can find one. I seen on the news where a dealer said they could sell 60 @ month if they weren't only getting one or two a month from factory. |

Interesting. I guess I should have considered there would be gov't tax breaks. I am getting solar panels installed right now. I will get a 26% tax rebate on that system. Next year it goes down to 22%.
