And being able to with an EV opt out of paying for gasoline. I probably put $300-$400 in my tank every month as I have to drive all across the state for court.

I would love an EV, but we can't swing it right now-- but the thought of not having to pay for gasoline sounds divine. Of course, now that we are both permanent work-from-home, we use a lot less gas. We are purchasing a new Ford Explorer, and there was an electric option, but it wouldn't be able to tow our camper with that, making it unrealistic. (And we get huge discounts from Ford-- we are getting it at about 4,000 under MSRP when most dealers are over MSRP quite a bit, so I'll take that as a win!)
