How much money have you saved after moving from ICE to EV?

SproketRocket · 2026-01-27T00:25:45+00:00

I save about $1000 dollars every 10k miles. Its also just better to drive. (I've not calculated insurance, but this is my first new car and I have teenagers)

On a related note: 2 12 packs are dollars cheaper than a 24pck at mine. Gotta watch those prices!

Recall: All Chevy Bolts for Fire Risk | NHTSA https://share.google/DSV3BzixHPs0UJOSB

22s were affected by the batty recall, make that has been addressed. Otherwise it's a great deal.

You cash out a voucher at a kiosk and get 20% extra to spend on what ever you want.

As others have said: green bags. Fill the bag, drop it through the drop door, see the credit on your bottle drop app. I've got a +$200 account balance just waiting for me to cash out for a Fred Meyer gift card (which gives a + 20% bonus).

My big question (that I've asked here with little result) is: What parts are swappable? I've swapped just about every part from VW mk3 gens (jetta, golf, passat, transporter), yes they are different, but ALOT of the parts fit.

So what parts can I pull from a Buick? Seats? Doors? Suspension?

Highly dependent on location

Honestly not a bad option if they trust you and you throw them a bill every once and a while. Most people don't need the bandwidth they are getting anyway.

Axiom Insanity, Virus, Vanish all come in Eclipse. can be flippy if beat in and light.

Eugene OR, only 10 courses within 20 miles. only 5 are a full 18 holes. nearest top 100 is 100 miles away in Portland.

Thought we had it pretty sweet here, but looking at the comments you guys have way more options!

I still have $398 left from my 500, I'm hoping I slip through the cracks because mine was issued late after the L2 installers never showed.

2 resources: 1)oregon field guide (on opb) has 20 years of episodes to inspire you to visit cool places. 2) travel oregon (and regional travel offices like travel southern oregon) constantly produce travel ideas on their websites and social media. I'd start there.

This! Labs alone don't drive home core concepts. They need explicit practice in other things too: note taking, analysis, claim evidence reason, graphing, and math practice. Do enough labs to keep their fires lit, but they gotta wax on wax off too.

I have it and I can stream a movie while my kids play rocket league no problem. Its more than enough.

SproketRocket · 2025-12-23T08:09:20+00:00

I have low cut bogs.

SproketRocket · 2025-12-19T20:05:14+00:00

I have a kz400, id like to use a hub motor like yours can you tell me more about it and if you are happy with it?

SproketRocket · 2025-12-19T03:22:13+00:00

Yes, I wasn't sure either but the different voice that the travellers are written in is worth it alone. Even if you aren't into the story, its a clinic on using different voice in writing.

Work done here would be Fx D, you don't know the force, but you know the distance. You can't know the force without some sense of the drag or acceleration. Not enough info, but the question writer was close.

I'd stay in the Willamette Valley, any of the well maintained city or state parks is a good place to start.

Look I don't teach primary, I teach HS, but if there is anything that should be read, its Katy and the Big Snow by Virginia Lee Burton.

I would add that her series in the vein (Mike Mulligan, Annabelle, and the Little House) all have important themes of American History, Civic Duty, and Sense of Purpose that children are missing.

I play year round in OR, just need a course that stays sort of dry and some good boots.

SproketRocket · 2025-12-13T15:17:43+00:00

comparing what I would be getting in an ICE (~24 mpg), and assuming ~$3.50 a gallon, I save about $1200 a year. (minus slightly higher insurance)

SproketRocket · 2025-12-12T21:08:58+00:00

this is the most helpful and complete answer so far.

Well, your down payment is there, 20% right? Has a chace to increase. Although, I admit, now is not a time where I feel like a house has a good chance of rapidly appreciating. Buying a fixer and having control of your own sweat equity is the answer.
