Yeah, your electric bill would be higher but the increase in electricity you'd pay will be less than what you currently pay for gas, saving money overall. Only issue is the up front cost to buy one in the first place. And all the spying shit recent cars come with.
Yeah this and all the infotainment bullshit they're putting in new cars is a huge incentive to just stick with my 15 year old ICE. If nothing changes I'm planning to drive this thing till it rusts to pieces. I don't need or want all that extra crap. Just give me A/C, power locks and windows and a stereo and that's it.
I live on the southern US coast. Unless I drive it straight into the Gulf, it isn't likely to rust away. It's a Honda, not a Dodge. 🤣
