Comment on xkcd #3214: Electric Vehicles
Amuletta@lemmy.ca 5 days agoThey’d be the best compromise for me. I usually drive short distances in the city, but maybe once or twice a year I want to do the 800km journey back to my home city in the next province. Train travel isn’t an option.

I have a similar situation and I just rent a car for those twice a year trips 🤷 Still cheaper than paying for gas

Literally impossible, given you have to pay for the gas of those rentals plus however long you keep them until you get back.

I pay 0€ for gas all year long, electricity is currently 0,0187€/kWh
The money I save from that equation easily pays for a rental twice a year.

You’d be paying even less with a plug-in electric hybrid.
