No More Gasoline! No Fossil Fuels!

We sold our last gasoline car about a month ago. It was a 2008 Scion xD, with about 120,500 miles on it.

We now have three electric cars, and one electric / pedal hybrid - Bolt EV, e-Golf, Smart EQ, and better.bike PEBL. I will try to take a photo of all four. We are happy to not buy any more gasoline!

With our 10.1kWh solar PV system producing about half of the electricity we use; and all the electricity we buy from the grid comes from 100% renewable sources. We are paying a bit over 2¢/mile for driving, and none of our electric cars have needed any regular service.

We pay about 21¢/kWh total for electricity - that is almost 2X the national average. So, many of you could drive for 1¢/mile - or less. We also heat primarily with mini splits, and once we insulate our house better, we may even be able to drive virtually for free.
