There’s times to stand still and there’s times to keep moving.
I dunno, not spending as much time on vehicle maintenance is worth quite a bit to me.
My vehicle maintenance consists of one oil change per year. No big deal for me.
Not trying to be a jerk, but why didnt you just stick with the old gas ones you had already? This is in reference to your post about it not making financial sense to go EV over the current ICE vehicle one already has… ?My lawnmower, weed wacker, and blower are all electric.
you‘re playing with fire saying that out loud, your Audi and jeep might hear you ?
Depends on the circumstance. I bought a polestar two for about 70 with almost 0% interest. I get 10k in tax credits, about 5000 a year in gas savings, and 18,200 in year one depreciation as a business expense which amounts to about $4000 in additional tax savings for my business. All the while I can let my money make me money bc of the low interest rate. When the time comes worst case scenario it’s a financial wash but it’s a good deal of carbon saved and in all honesty I’ll probably come out ahead on it.
That's funny and probably true. But in all honesty, both vehicles are now four years old and I've done nothing other than oil changes to either of them. I think the Jeep may need a battery soon though....
I didn't already own any yard equipment. I moved from a townhouse into a newly built house on a 1.1 acre lot. So I decided to go electric since I was starting from scratch and the electric equipment available works well for the size of my lawn. I'm really happy with the electric yard equipment. It works really well for me.
Don’t forget to have the brake fluid changed or at least checked every couple of years. It is hygroscopic, will absorb water from atmosphere.
I love my electric lawnmower. I’ve had it 11 years and have spent $23 on upkeep(the blade became too knicked up to sharpen any more as of last year). I bought a weed eater that uses the same battery, since it was only $30 more than buying a second battery on its own.
Yup, I have test strips and check it yearly myself. Still good on both vehicles. I'll probably flush it out soon since I actually enjoy doing my own maintenance. There's just so little to do on today's cars....and even less in an EV. I guess I'll still get to do the brake fluid flush someday when I do go electric. And I suppose coolant too....
Not sure if you keep up with the latest and greatest, but there are some really decent electric snowblowers available now. From what I read, battery life can be an issue if you have a large driveway, but supposedly these newest electric snowblowers are plenty powerful and are comparable to many gas versions.
I have been watching, but haven’t seen anything comparable to my 2 stage honda . Really like track drive.
