Coincidence? I think not!

You have an incredibly adversarial tone with that “actual numbers” as if mine aren’t, so I’m not going to continue.
But I will point out I’m using averages and you are cherry picking low mileage per year, low fuel consumption, and low gas prices. And I’m guessing funny electric numbers to change 1/4 the cost of gas to nearly 2/3 the cost. And funny enough you are combining low mileage per year with moderately-high battery replacement rate. You are picking and choosing.
Some quick math from this https://www.realclearscience.com/articles/2022/09/22/how_expensive_is_it_to_charge_an_ev_in_europe_and_is_it_really_cheaper_than_gas_854618.html#!
Puts slow charging at 1/4 the price of gasoline. That’s substantial.
Other searching says average of 18k km per year in Europe. With 6 l/ 100 km average age 1.76€/ l, gasoline costs €1,901 per year. Vs €475 for electricity. Saving €1,426 a year (1,527 US) Do that for 10 years and that’s €14,260 saved ($15, 270 US). I can only expect that savings will increase as gas prices go up.
As for maintenance anything with a timing belt is going to have a massive maintenance cost. There’s just no comparison in the design of these things. Electric motors have such a simple design. ICE cars have oil changes, transmission oil changes, coolant changes, spark plugs, starters, 12 v battery, accessory belt, timing belt, alternator. Yes EV’s have a 12v battery and coolant but these are not taxed nearly as much as ice cars.
EV motors are so simple they’ll handily outlast ice engines. And no transmission either. Boy if you’ve ever had transmission problems you’d never want another, EVs don’t have that. Tesla used to be on about a million mile drivetrain warranty because it really should be feasible. Ice cars can’t ever get that (on average).
Batteries yeah we’ll see how well new ones last. For a million miles you’ll go through a few batteries, which get better each time.
EVs are more expensive up front, then cost less as electricity is cheaper than gas. And cheaper maintenance and longer lifespan.
Set it up to a mic measuring decibels lol.
Really? I thought facebook martketplace was the big one.
There’s no barrier? I thought they’d be in a cell with the person watching outside.
It went about how you would expect the hundreds of times I watched it happen.
So what exactly happened?
Groan. This belongs in dad jokes.
Seeing as it’s not in the official song, I think it’s from a bad rip or something.
Uh oh!

It is a weird turn of phrase.
Also not so fun is you couldn’t skip the DVD ones. I played a DVD and couldn’t skip the previews (remember those?).
I remember we’d tape shows on the VCR when gone and it was so nice to fast forward through the ads.
Going back to live shows I found myself reaching for the VCR remote until I remembered.
Ugh yes I was told to prepare for that. I will try some of your burnt replicated bird meat.
“This bird appears to have been lying in the sun for some time.”
New to Lemmy? There are hordes of users (no exaggeration) that say they won’t vote because the Dems aren’t left enough and bothsidessame.
Seeing as China still burns fucking coal, I don’t see how there can be a problem.
