I will concede that this set of conditions AND better appearance, could sway me toward an EV...."Could". I feel a bit safe saying that because it won't happen. |

So how much more does an equivalent EV cost over an ICE vehicle?
I don't include maintenance as tires all wear same, wipers, 12v battery, lights, etc would be the same. Oil changes only difference (call it a draw with electric usage from EV if want). So strictly off gas used at 4 bucks a gallon... If a 20k price difference it'd be 125,000 miles to break even (25 mpg) with an EV would it not? I had socks on so was hard to do the figurin.... Check me maths. |

Out of pure morbid curiosity, I'm curious what you define as "high maintenance" on a gas vehicle. You keep saying it but never actually say what it means. Please, tell me what "high maintenance" means on a modern ICE vehicle vs. an EV. |

And, I LOVE the rumble of my IC engines!! The electric motor hum does nothing for me. |

I don't want less miles on a charge because I put a subwoofer in my car.

Are not EV's heavier thus will be harder on tires?
If lease was same price for let's say for 2 years I might go EV then. |

How long before battery trailers are a thing?
Hook it to your hitch and plug it in. |

With that trailer and maybe a solar panel roof, you could crack 200 miles I'll bet.

Imagine the time saved from not having to charge AND not having to pull over to shit on the roadside, you could drive from dallas to fort worth in about 6 six hours. |

I don't know why GM is losing money on EV's. I mean, look at them.
