If electricity doubles or triples you will still be ahead of the game. Because you won't be buying gas. Right now it costs 1/4 as much $ to refuel an EV compared to refueling with gas. And as far as a buying an EV to use primarily as a generator that is not the point. It CAN be used as a generator if need be. Saving you the cost of buying a generator. You are approaching this back end first.
lets try this
fuel right now is twice what it should be or was and then some,
so charging is , NOW is a 1/4 the costs
well, its actually only HALF the costs in normal times
NEXT since Electric is going up almost 50% as of this summer in most places
that is a WASH on saving no??
and as electric providers have to UP grade there systems there will be a LOT of new costs to doing so
and them costs will be put onto the consumers, just like any other bushiness does when costs rise to upgrade !
so I don't; see any savings , if were honest for quite a while
you can also say, how folks BUCKED the idea of 4 stroke snowmobiles
well Hate to say its, but since 4 strokes entered the market over a decade ago
they STILL haven't dominated the market, seems the majority STILL don;t want them (I liked mine too so NO bash on them)
NOW< if we flip this and say look at MX bikes, where they pretty much FORCED everyone into 4 strokes, resistance at first was Not so great, problems were the norm for quite a awhile(still some)
so don;t have the bug
s worked out on a item that was ALL that is being made by MOST OEM's or the out of the big 4 l
yes there MUCH better but that was also with them being the ONLY option really unless you went with the few makers that still made one, and then you were some what at a disadvantage due to the differences between the two
and NOW more OEM"s are BACK to making the 2 stroke models, due to DEMAND for them!
so, in a market where they were forced onto the general public, with claims about emissions mostly and fear of them
they pushed 4 stroke MX bikes
but IMO< and based on still the demand for 2 strokes is HIGH now
them 4 strokes DIDN"T take over as expected to do so!
SO again E vehicles,
to date and minus the past MAYBE few yrs, they have been a novelty vehicle, like exotic cars, for elitist and folks with there own agendas and OR< deeper pockets that could afford a second vehicle they can use for certain needs!
they were not and honestly still are NOT made for the average person on a average income!
getting closer, HUMM< MAYBE
but close as they only matters in hand grenades
it doesn;'t really CUT it in the real world, and this current push on them, won;t change that
the SYSTEM needs to be there to support them , before they will ever get popular and or replace combustion engines! as well as prices of them will have to meet what more folks can afford!
