No matter how deal an EV is, I would not get one. I don't put enough miles on to wear out the HC at my age so no sense in preserving it. Unless... I only use to to drive on heavily salted roads in winter.... Hmmm...

Yep, the distance is too far, way too much range anxiety, imo.
Oh, I wouldn't be anxious, just curious how far it'd go, not counting on making it all the way.

The downside is the spotty cell service, so the test runs would have to be with a tow vehicle and trailer (with a winch) following along.

But on the positive side, I could also bring a 6.5 KW generator and get a 2-5% charge on the way home. That way I wouldn't have to use the winch at home, too.

Come to think of it, this doesn't really sound like saving the planet, does it?

At first I thought it was a misprint, a $59/mo.lease is quite affordable. Went on the dealer's website to check the details.
Then called.

With $2K down and for three years I thought what the heck let's do it. That's when I found out only Colorado residents qualify for a large chunk of the incentives. Oh well, I tried ...
$2k down @$59/mo for 3 years = $4,124

That amounts to such a huge $$ loss they might as well just send them to the crusher and write them off.

No. No it doesn't.

Besides, as most people of common sense knows ... we can't "save" the planet.

The Earth is too profoundly huge to be effected long term by us tiny humans.
