Comment on Electric cars will be cheaper to make than gas vehicles but with much higher repair and insurance costs

Car rentals are expensive and time consuming affairs. This ‘solution’ is worse for the vast majority of people than owning a car. It’s why you don’t see people doing it.

I drove a beater with no note for like twenty years and just rented for car trips.

Having two or three car payments a year is cheaper than twelve.

It’s unconventional, but plenty of people do it.

When compared with the cost savings, in my personal case, renting when I need a car to drive 100+miles, is cheaper than buying a more expensive ev, or paying for fuel in a gasoline vehicle.

The time is negligible as well when I compare the time I don’t spend at gas stations because I charge at home.
