    Agreed. I knew an EV would have a lower fuel cost per mile, but I wanted to run a simple example to see how many miles you would have to drive to even come close to breaking even on the price of the vehicle. It was a lot more miles than I would have guessed!

    I just talked myself out of a Bolt...


    How in the world do you get electric that cheap?
    In Ohio you can purchase electricity from 50+ different providers. Once a year I go out to this website and compare all the electricity prices in 1 place. I go with the cheapest provider that doesn't have fees or negative restrictions.
