A rental car for a week costs, for a comfortable four seater (Nissan Qashqai), 400€. Just factor that cost in.

Is that supposed to be cheap? You must be going on vastly more expensive road trips than I have ever been on.

Ever sit down and figure out the cost of taking your own vehicle: amortized cost, maintenance, extra expense of gas (versus driving EV) when you're not on a road trip, things like that? I'm not saying it'll come out to 400 Euros, but it ain't free.

If the EV saves that over the year, the total yearly cost still comes out below. Plus, you don't have the wear and tear of a long trip on your own car.
