BTW, my signature has a cost of ownership spreadsheet in it. You can input values for a gasoline vehicle in one half of the spreadsheet and compare it to an EV on the other.
Plug in EV would be nice but we have no where to charge outside at out apartment complex. Her work has like 2 stations so if they are taken for the day she's got no charge to get home and back.
