Electric vehicle charging cost
Interesting article, Gas is cheaper to fuel than a Tesla, which on top of charging cost, has a battery which apparently depreciates $1000 a year. https://seekingalpha.com/article/4160351-tesla-model...

No engine noise/vibration anymore. You may think your vehicle is smooth and quiet but that perception goes away once you ride in an electric car. Acceleration is like the hand of God shoving you down the road.
I'm amused at all the people with absolutely no experience with electric cars who seem to think they know so much about them.
I must admit, I’ve never driven either of those cars, but I will say the wind and road noise in either of my Tesla’s is FAR greater than it is in most of my ICE vehicles. Ditto smooth, and hands down better handling.
As for the ‘hand of God’, apparently he really does have 2 hands, because my V12 bi-turbo ICE shoves me down the road even faster than the Tesla, and sounds FAR sexier doing it.
Noise is another red herring.
Driving my F250 down the freeway (not towing), I have to listen carefully to hear the engine. Unless I'm just gunning it off the line, it's the wind and tire noise that you typically hear. EV's aren't immune to wind and tire noise
