Which is totally valid

Which is awesome, I concur. My Fiat only requires tires and brakes (and thanks to regen braking, my brakes only engage when I hit 6mph or slam on them, so hypothetically my pads will last forever). I loathe going to car dealerships for service so this is a big plus for me :P

Yeah, we're going to keep our little around town commuter until it blows up or the batteries die or whatever happens to it lol. After that we'll likely get another small commuter. It's just so easy, you can park it anywhere, it's actually a blast to drive, don't have to pay for gas. Oh, there are unexpected additional benefits, like the air conditioner working immediately. Anywho, yeah, I dig having an EV. But we also have an SUV that is traditional ICE but we need the space since I have to haul lumber and tools and things like that.
