Then when I looked at the potential savings in fuel vs registering and insuring a second vehicle...all the savings were out the window.
Just got an oil change on the F250...$29 out the door including taxes. I average about 2 per year...not a big deal.
My new 2022 Leaf is rated for 175 miles, plenty for me as it's just a grocery getter. Got it from Carvana. Took 2 weeks, they did everything including plates and title. It's hard to buy an electric car from a dealer around here. They have to be paid up front, usually MSRP, and then wait. Did my own garage level 2 charge station.
Oil changes on my Freightliner Cummins 8.3 are about 10x your cost. Unfortunately electric isn't quite up to the towing task yet.
The economics of an EV don't bother me so much as I feel good that I'm making my miniscule contribution to mitigating climate change. And, really, I just love new things with all the technology, including automatic braking, safety alerts of all kinds, voice recognition..etc.
