In most U.S. zip codes, electric vehicles are cost-competitive with their gas-powered counterparts, according to a new study. And regarding emissions benefits of EVs, individual driving patterns matter as much as regional factors like the local electricity mix.
Honestly, an old truck is irreplaceable. Find somewhere to keep it and also get a small EV commuter (someday). Depending on where you are, you might even be able to get ultra cheap “classic car” insurance at 25 years for a truck that isn’t driven regularily.
I was doing that for years. Despite $3000 per year in maintenance it still needed 10k to be road worthy, with who knows what next. Since repairing trucks is not my hobby I gave up. I want a truck because sometimes you need one and can’t find one but I don’t have one anyway.
