Weird, I switched to an EV to save money. In my experience they’re wildly cheaper to maintain (no gas, no oil changes, no transmission/gaskets/fuel pump/filter/exhaust/spark plugs/starter/alternator, etc.), and my used EV cost the same as the used ICE cars I was looking at.

Most of the places I charge are free, I’ve saved more on gas than I paid for the car already.
