Well, my grandfather saves way more money than you and your 30-year-old truck, because he’s been dead for 40 years. That is roughly the same logic that you are using in your argument. In five years, my EV has saved about $13,500 in money NOT spent on gas, and that includes the money spent charging the car. Before we’re done with it, we will have recouped the entire purchase price of the car having spent what we would’ve spent covering the same miles in a car that gets 30 miles per gallon.
