Ive never seen someone being able to have their cake and eat it too. For example when I got my 2nd gen insight the idea of saving fuel did cross my mind of all the reasons it was purchased. I didnt buy it just for that nor did I count my eggs before they hatch. Although the dealer doesnt have a program that requires you to bring the car in for service every 5 thousand miles at 50 bucks a visit I find the cvt and engine need service every 10 thousand miles and its about 100 bucks.
Ive already investigated a Leaf. The power company rep said they can run a pole just for the charger, but I had to pay a second account. The electrician said our box or home wont support a 220 volt or a 120 amp circuit and need a new electrical box. My room mate said no electrical box upgrade. So Ill have to have a pole, box and second service and there goes the potential savings of going EV over gasoline unless gas pops up to like 5 or 7.50 a gallon.
