That's weird. I pay $350/yr in insurance. I hop insurance providers every couple years. That's a separate trick though. I had to go check since I round it down to 0 in my head.

My costs went down so substantially when I switched to electric they are for all intents and purposes, effectively 0

Sorry if you can't figure it out.

For me it's a substantial cost increase. My gas is only about $2000 a year and maintenance is roughly $200 a year. So roughly speaking I'd be paying $900 a year more to drive an EV then to drive an ICE. That's even before you start factoring in the higher upfront purchase price and the one time costs for upgrading the home.

>Sorry if you can't figure it out.

I'm honestly not sure if you're genuinely sorry if it's not working out for me, or if you're snarking.

It was meant to be encouraging without sounding patronizing. I'm not great at it
