It's nice not having to ever worry about car stuff. I just have to worry about this high horse instead.

The gas is almost the cheapest thing. Insurance, maintenance, tires, etc

[–] HarneyToker@lemmy.world 1 points 4 minutes ago

Yes, but an EV also needs insurance, maintenance, and tires. OP’s post is pointing out a distinction between EVs and ICE vehicles.

EV + solar panels on my house == free charging. i am so happy with this combo.

The EV is definitely a money improvement. A new battery and the Subaru will go for a oretty penny, though.

I'm not against them, but I wonder how EVs will hold up in the long haul. Like in 20 years will there even be a feasible used market or will the batteries and motors be to shitty without a crazy expensive replacements to keep them practical?

And then there's the scrapping process for batteries too. Can batteries be refurbished, scrapped or recycled in a way that most regions can do it?

New battery is cheap. Subaru headgaskets are not.

I’ve known plenty of people with Subarus and none have had head gasket issues. I think the problem is exaggerated because it’s memed.
