One of the interesting side effects of owning an EV is the reduced monthly gasoline expense. We are down between 200 and 250 dollars every single month. (Our electric bill is also down, but that is more because we have a much smaller house.)
Our “computed” MPG right now is around 78 mpg. Well, that is one of the EVs. The other EV currently has the front end fixed, so its mileage is much higher . We are not seeing the wear on the newer synthetic tires that we would have with the older style of tires.
Now, the range argument is an interesting one. Right now, we have one vehicle with a range of around 200 miles and the other nearly 300 miles. Other than driving ½ across the country, we seldom use more than 150 miles of range in a single day. (My wife drives all over the country for her job.)
So, we don’t see the range issue or the tire issue. I know people with EVs who have seen or had issues with both. I suspect the future state of hydrogen cell cars will have greater range, more power, and even less pollution than the current EVs.
Still, an EV today is less than a gasoline-powered car in terms of pollution.
