100% the cheapest, most green choice is keep driving what you already have. But when I did my own math on my projected ownership of 10+ years, going electric was a no brainer on deciding between ICE and electric, and I'm betting that math will only get more in favor for electric on the basis that manufacturing petroleum products is dependent on a limited resource while green electricity is only getting bigger and cheaper. Especially if you're able to get your own solar power generation.

Zoom out. BYD models are $10k cheaper than comparable models, you're saving maybe $1k+ annually on gas, and you're throwing in the towel on $150 tax? They are not available in US because of anti-competition and "national security" concerns, but if they were, the US manufacturers would be getting murked. As it is, we're just going to massively lose global market share.

Nah, keep throwing those slop grenades. It helps me identify people who think for themselves and people that provide little more than headcount metrics
