This a meaningless number of both gen z and zoomers?

Ugh. Did they manage to make it fun again yet? Asking for a friend

I got our oil removed and heat pumps installed through masssave last fall.

I ended up getting 5 quotes that varies from $20k-50k. Two of the installers wanted to do ducted systems and eventually we ended up around $30k with a good installer.

We paid the 10k as a down payment in November. Got the 0% interest loan about $150/month. We just got the rebate check in the mail. And 150/mo plus the new electric rate is still cheaper than oil. Long term I'm hoping it will pay for itself.

Paid to go thru hiking in eaither case

You sure? I see like a lot of dots at all the intersections

Ehhh he's fairly spot on. When I didn't have insurance I had to go to the ER or try to find a doc that would write a prescription "under the table" - which never went well. No urgent care would see me.

Now that I have insurance I've only been to the ER for a real emergency once.

Still going to the ER with insurance wiped out my savings though, so I don't really see all that much difference.

Odd I got the site and not a rick roll. Try rejecting the cookies?

Well Ive not quite made it to 100000mi on the odometer. It's likely I'll be able to take it to 200000 with the same sort of range I have now... So that's about 10-12 years of life for me without a worry. Maybe it goes more, maybe I get in an accident before 2029 (10years of use and I'll be around 150000mi or less).

Ive heard people are scared of the batteries. But that fear doesn't match what I've experienced. I had a recall on mine that was not big deal. it's really not as concerning as it's made out to be. I'm mostly hoping there's a better recycling system in place when I do actually need a new battery, just show I know the old one is taken care of properly. But likely the rest of the car will wear out first.

Ps I don't drive much during the week, longer weekend drives, and then long drives a few times a year.

I have a 2017 bolt EV - bought used, not one that is advertised as having great mileage even in 2017. I routinely take it 400-500mi plus drives with one or maybe two charge stops for vacation and family trips. Middle of ME to the southern tip of NJ. My home is somewhere in the middle.

Charged off my 110 outlet since I got to car (about 4 years) up to last month Oct 2023 when I got a 220v outlet installed as part of another project. One charge was enough for the week. Occasionally I'd plug in at work or at a friends. Worst case actually pay $5-9 for a DC quick charge if I know I'm doing a long drive. All that is way easier if you just have a place to plug in consistently at home.

I don't get the negativity most people have twords EVs. Everyone is astounded when I say I just plug it into the wall and have to plan longer trips slightly more, like that's not news anymore.

And there's a bunch more DC chargers than when I first started driving an EV - so it's wayyy easier for new folks to adopt.
