In the free republic of FL, I pay $0.11/kwh, and I have solar panel's, so technically free, if you don’t count the price I paid for solar panels. Local drive, nothing can’t beat electric power vehicles. On road trip, it not so great, you can do better on a diesel truck , or F150 3.5-Liter...

One of the reason for getting an electric vs ICE vehicle is low maintenance costs. Don’t know every one’s situation, but I have owned multiple teslas with over 100k and never replaced the brakes. I just use high regen on all, including my R1t. Part of learning curves is to anticipate your...
