Owning an electric car does save money – most EVs are $6-$10K cheaper

How does this fit in with the trend stated a few years ago that low emissions vehicles are cheaper to maintain?

And the question of the next decade will be: which BEV is cheaper to maintain and why?

> Perhaps surprisingly, the smallest difference is between BEV and ICE crossovers, with a mere $3,000 estimated savings for a Ford Mustang Mach-E versus a Toyota RAV4.

I'm not sure where the surprise is here. The Mustang Mach-E is a performance crossover while the Rav4 is a basic commuter. A better Mach-E comparison would be with the BMW X3 plugin hybrid.

I’m curious how much brake wear hybrids prevent and plug in hybrids in particular.

Recently going down from the eastern sierras I regenerated 5 mi of range from energy that otherwise would have been partially dumped into the brake pads.

This is exactly what we were hoping for and expecting

Have the tesla haters been proved fucking right yet?
