Speak for yourself. A year ago, I was paying $50 to fill up the 18 gallon tank on my 2017 Explorer and got maybe 230 miles per tank around town. Today it would cost nearly twice that much. I can “fill up” my MME at home for less than $10 and get at least 250 miles of range out of it. And I haven’t even had to change the oil yet. But I do keep getting emailed coupons from my local Ford dealer for a discount on my next oil change.Funny enough, none of the owners that drive one are saving money over an ICE vehicle either.
As nice as the Mach-E is, it's a $25,000 vehicle with another $25k worth of batteries in it.
You could find a comparably optioned ICE crossover for around $30k vs. Mach-E's $50k price tag. Add to that higher insurance premiums, and any illusion of saving money vs. driving an ICE car only make sense over a 10+ year lifespan.
