EV vs. Gas?

Everyone's mileage may vary.

For me, I tried a Leaf and it didn't really work out. I drive too far, insurance is already super expensive and would be even more so with a newer EV, I rent where I live and don't plan on staying in one place my whole life, and a lot of where I go is in places where the whole house might get a single 30A 120V fuse, and that's that.

I also feel that keeping a vehicle as long as possible, especially when getting over 40mpg already and its almost paid off, is going to be cheaper in the long run.

I still love EV's and would get one in a second if I could justify it.
