Not missing the pumps.

Today it would cost $175 to fill my F-150, which gets me about 600 miles down the road - about US $.29/mile.

For the next 6 months, I will be charging the Mach E from a PV solar array, which is paid for, so essentially it's "free".

Need to add StaBil to the F-150 gas tank since the truck will be parked for most of the summer.

Pros and cons of EV’s. Right now it’s a pro. In the dead of winter it’s a con.

Gas prices will go back down eventually.

Have been happily not missing the pumps for more than four years and will never miss them again. Have yet to experience a single con to our all-electric driving.

Not missing the pumps.

Our electricity has gone up twice in the last seven years. Both times they raised the base rate (currently $58.85 including state tax) and left the price for the actual electricity used the same. One reason for this is it makes solar payoff period longer. The only solar I have seen around here are Amish which are not hooked up to the grid anyway. There is also less incentive to conserve when electricity is $.125/kWh including tax. On the flip side, it costs the same charge the car now as it would have seven years ago.

Things are little more grim again here in Aus. A lot of servos just have no fuel at all. And diesel, when you find it is about $3.40 per litre.
I'm glad I made the switch when I did, but not so glad I am the designated work taxi.
