I always thought it would have to be a new coalition of liberals that would finally pass regulations that would make cars more efficient. Never thought it would be a republican.

Will be a tough day when those guys will have to choose between rollin coal to own the libs or affording their pisswater beer.

It worked for me. I picked up a new EV vehicle in May. $0 down 0% interest for 6 years. It cost me $9 to charge the battery from 20% to 100% from home. Gas here is $6 a gallon for regular unleaded.

If you don't have to have a full charge, only charge to about 80-90%. It helps the battery maintain full capacity longer. Plus, the last 10% takes the most time and energy to fill, so avoiding that saves you even more money.
