They start at 30 k so they are out of the running instantly, and you can't work on your own car, and repairs cost a fortune. Can't even change your own tires if you get a flat!

And living up north I'm uninterested in full evs, hybrids at best!

In NZ every 100kkm saves $15,400 NZD in fuel alone. Car pays itself thru it's lifetime. Likely twice if you calculate maintenance.

(7L/100km2.5$/L=17.5 - 15kwh/100km0.14$/kwh=$2.1/100km = 15.4)
