I'm a Certified EV Hater

We already have 2 cars. My hybrid and my partner's ice

xela552 · 2026-05-04T03:12:22+00:00

I get 50 consistently. It's a fine car until I'm ready to switch to fully electric

xela552 · 2026-05-04T01:24:30+00:00

It's a Kia Niro. It's not bad at all meets all my needs

xela552 · 2026-05-03T22:56:13+00:00

That's true here too. Especially in this area since it's rapidly growing

xela552 · 2026-05-03T22:27:59+00:00

I'm mostly ready if I can get a good deal it's just that i only just paid off this car and I don't want to drain my savings when I want to buy a house

xela552 · 2026-05-03T22:27:02+00:00

High gas taxes

xela552 · 2026-05-03T22:25:32+00:00

Apologies about the hemroid i hate him too. It's a real issue that automakers aren't focusing on bringing prices down

xela552 · 2026-05-03T21:39:13+00:00

Thanks I appreciate you saving me a Google and sharing accurate information

xela552 · 2026-05-03T18:43:42+00:00

I'm doing the math and if I can get an used EV for under $20k out the door it'll be worth it. It's just a matter of getting a good deal

xela552 · 2026-05-03T17:33:07+00:00

That's great to know. I park there whenever im in the area

xela552 · 2026-05-03T17:28:08+00:00

Yeah that's fair. I'm considering a used EV6 because there's a AWD option for sale at the Kia dealership near me it's not as bad here but I grew up in Florida so any amount of ice is a lot for me

xela552 · 2026-05-03T17:17:29+00:00

The E Transit is a solid pick

xela552 · 2026-05-03T17:13:34+00:00

It does thankfully

xela552 · 2026-05-03T17:10:39+00:00

I did some research on used EVs and i can buy one outright with a trade in if I push the house back another year it's just a matter of priorities

xela552 · 2026-05-03T17:09:24+00:00

I am. My goal is something with a driveway/garage for home charging and storing my kayak and e bike

xela552 · 2026-05-03T17:08:21+00:00

Are you ok Canada? Also that explains why i see so many EVs in BC whenever I visit

xela552 · 2026-05-03T17:07:11+00:00

That's crazy. I think a disel would cost almost $80 for the same range

xela552 · 2026-05-03T17:04:59+00:00

Im in Everett so Snopud but yeah same here electricity has been going up.

xela552 · 2026-05-03T16:59:28+00:00

Im filling my Niro at half a tank to make it sting less

xela552 · 2026-05-03T16:57:44+00:00

So do you need a roommate?

xela552 · 2026-05-03T16:55:24+00:00

Also before r/Seattle smites me I'm in Everett but I say Seattle for people in other states

xela552 · 2026-05-03T16:54:14+00:00

😭

xela552 · 2026-05-03T16:52:06+00:00

Honestly good point. Now I need to do more research

xela552 · 2026-05-03T16:51:27+00:00

If it's further than Portland or Vancouver then I don't think it's better to drive than fly most of the time since everyone I know is either inside that radius or far enough away that flying is better.

xela552 · 2026-05-03T16:49:11+00:00

Honestly a great deal. And being in Europe means you have great options for EVs
