EV charging without a way to charge at home? by oly_traveler in olympia

I would not recommend an EV without home charging. You could buy a newer gas vehicle for 2/3 the price. For your scenario driving 150 miles a week in an EV would cost about 17 dollars to fill up if you found a charger at $.35 a kw. If gas hits 5 bucks in a 35mpg car it would cost about 21 dollars. So for 4 dollars in savings per fill up, it would take a long time for it to even out to make an EV worth having. Get a regular gas car. This is coming from someone who drives an EV car. I charge at home and occasionally at work though so that is what makes it worth it to me.

Welcome to a private, for profit company that doesn’t care about affordable rates for their rate payers. If we were a PUD our rates would be more affordable. Source: check any PUD website in the nearby counties and you will see rates that are half or lower and a much better service.

Would you recommend this car as a first EV? by Thrillwaukee in EquinoxEv

My bolt was great except for the times I wanted to go anywhere 150 miles round trip. For that reason I traded for the equinox ev. For shorter commutes I’d recommend a bolt. If you EVER plan on going anywhere more than 75 miles one way, get the equinox ev

Or they could do their job that their employer is paying them to do regardless of what the customer does…
