Midwest for me too, cost me $71 to fill up my GTI on Saturday. $6.25 a gallon for 93. Guess I should be grateful I can tune back to stock and run 87 if I have to.
Right, I know it is still cheaper than it should be given the environmental cost. I wish I had any other way to get to work but the infrastructure simply doesn’t exist where I am.
If your average daily drive is 40 miles or less you can use a regular wall outlet to charge an EV.
Any more than that and you’ll need a bigger home charger, but you can still charge at home where it’s cheap unless you’re driving over 100 miles or so every day.
I traded in my Miata for a 2017 Bolt last year and I love the stupid little thing. By American standards it’s a small car, but it has a good deal of space inside. But I’ll also say that it’s small enough that it’s fun to take downtown where parking gets hairy.
So, if you haven’t tried one yet, I’d recommend at least giving the Bolt a shot.
I’ve been kicking myself for months for not grabbing an EV when I had to look for a vehicle recently, but got stuck with a gas guzzler cuz I need to be able to tow shit… I fucking hate my car.

Gas is so cheap in the US…

I suppose there’s nothing stopping me from test driving one…
