Electric would be great for me… 16 to 20 miles a day commute. But initial purchase cost kinda blows that out of the water. I’ll just keep driving my 96 Jeep 4.0 XJ. You talk about battery cost?? You’re Eco Diesel takes a dirt nap (we’re up to 26 of them where I work) that’ll set you back $30k!
Used ones are cheap. I sold my first gen Leaf for $5000. It was a super nice little car. Very dependable, charged on a 110v circuit, very low maintenance costs. But the max range was around 60 miles. Worked great for running around town or a short commute but you wouldn't want to take a trip in it. Great car for a high school kid or a second car or for short commutes.
