Serious discussion - electric vehicles ( EVs )

So the whole concept fascinated me on many levels, I am an IT and very technically minded. I also dabble know solar systems and off grid energy so I figure it could also serve as a “ battery on wheels “ extra capacity for a solar array lol. But anyway seriously considering one. Like a lightly used Nissan Leaf or a VW E-golf, your talking 15-25k and you get some federal tax credits if you get it from a dealership…. I’ve been researching how these public level 2/3 DC charging stations work and what the costs are. Some networks have membership fees which basically just makes the cost per use slightly cheaper and easier sign in because you have a phone app for it. Like going to Redbox and renting a movie with your phone. Anyway depending on commercial power rates here in CFL for instance Duke charges 8-11c / kWh, residential is slightly higher but your talking $1.50 - $3 to fill your “ tank “. And that will get you 100-150 miles in a standard lower end EV. There’s also regenerative breaking, onboard charging systems and variable kinds of air conditioning and heating out there for them like I have leaned they ALL have heated seats. Turns out it’s less energy to heat your ass than the whole car lol. Anyway it’s fascinating and I’m actually considering one. I have a full size gas guzzling pick up truck this would just be a secondary vehicle run around locally and go to the beaches and shit plus you get all the prime parking spots everywhere and tax credits and what not.

We all like to laugh at the EV craze of these liberals around here but has anyone actually sat and done the math and research a little, depending on your situation it actually is something to consider….

I know I’ll catch hell for this post but - serious thoughts please ;)
