I own a hybrid. Between knowing batteries, electronics, evs and vehicles, I'm more informed and knowledgeable than most people on here. EVs are only great if you own a garaged house, want to take large losses on resale, and keep newer vehicles. A lot of people do fit in that category, but for everyone else they're still a poor idea for now. They're fine if you only keep vehicles under a warranty and trade them in. They aren't a "thrifty" option.

Lol a self declared expert huh? Bows to your greatness

I never had a garage, I sold for 80% what I paid 3 years later, and I usually go with 4-5 year old, under 50k km private sale vehicles outside of the EV(because it's a newer market). I was pretty giddy to buy my first new vehicle. Might have been my last, depending on my funds when an electric truck that meets my needs hits the market.

Thanks for sharing your opinion though. Takes all types.

Well I've been paid for working on all of the above, so I guess that makes me a self declared proffesional, sport.
