Thought I'd start a thread in the tech forum for electric cars - these things are practically a tech purchase when you think about it. Currently have a Prius C but we're in the market for a second car and I think I am going full electric. 10 mile commute and my work has charging stations right in the front row.
Yeah, I hear that. Personally I can't wait to get rid of my car and instead have one ready for me to jump in when I head out the door for work. The cost savings alone will be tremendous, and never having to deal with parking will likely add years to my life.
About 5 days into Leaf ownership and I love it so far. The range is a little short - 95 miles, but it’s perfect for going back and forth to work (10 mile commute) and my work has free charging. Still have the Prius C for the longer trips.
It is an exciting space. Most governments in Europe are implementing higher taxes and setting deadlines for fossil powered vehicles. I rarely do more than a 20 mile round trip anywhere, so I would love to have one for the free fuel. I am on a company car scheme, so I am hoping in the near future I will get into one.
Europe has the right idea. Whereas in the US there are cities (Atlanta I believe is one of them) where they are taxing EVs heavier at registration since they don't pay into the gas tax.
