Bingo!

At this point in time apartment dwellers and carport residents should perhaps refrain from purchasing an EV at this time. Their circumstances make it difficult, but not impossible. As thy say— your mileage may vary. Sorry.

There are several EVs that have a range equal/> than your 300 mile range. Tesla batteries have a 10 year warennty (trade it at 9 years if you're concerned). The battery in an EV is the equivalent of an engine in a I.C.E vehicle...comparing the batteries in the two vehicles is erroneous. Most EVs can charge from 20%-80% in 20-15 min. (enough time to urinate & perhaps grab a snack). BTW 90% of charging of EVs is done at home while you eat, watch TV, sleeper or make love. Absolutely no time involved at a gas station. Tesla Model 3 ~$35,990 https://www.tesla.com/model 3 ... 2024 Camry XLE V6 (w/out options) $37,390(https://www.toyota.com/configurator/build/step/summary/year/2024/series/camry/model/2554/exteriorcolor/01H1/interiorcolor/LA20/packages/option116/?bap_guid=b7ace084-467e-4cc2-bf60-095dbaccce16) . Finally statically:Fully electric vehicles, on the other hand, were deemed far safer than both hybirds and gas cars; they are far less likely to catch fire, with just 25.1 fires per 100,000 sales. That’s compared to 3,474 hybrid fires and 1,529 ICE fires per 100,000 sales respectively. (https://insideevs.com/news/561549/study-evs-smallest-fire-risk/)
So I've done your homework for you...You are welcome.
Just attempting to educate.
Please don't buy an EV-- they are obviously not for you.

Drive one and you may change your mind. This crowd seems to "fight" change consistanly.

Epson 3880- Excellent printer! Can sit for months...never clogs.

Some of the folks here are very misinformed on EVs, electricity,taxes,and renewables. Please educate yourself before making comments. You definitely have a right to your own opinions, but don’t base them on hearsay and/or emotion.

Works great for PLEX. Can hold 1000's of movies,TV shows, and songs...

Buy a Tesla or other EV and if your electric rate is reasonable- it's "almost free". I fill up in (northern IL) for about $6, for approximately 300 miles of range. BTW the Model 3 now sells for less than the average car sold in the US. Also no more driving to gas stations. Food for thought, if you're not into EVs that's OK too.

SAD, but true!

Deciding to try to STOP may be a decision?

Check out SuperDuper!...it's like Carbon Copy Cloner. Very easy to use and you can boot from it if things get messed up. If your main drive is screwed up- you can copy your backup to the main HD and you are back in business in a few minutes. A life saver. This plus Time Machine makes for a smart combo.

You "Old Guys" are so uniformed! Study up! In less then a decade more than 50% of vehicles sold will be EVs.
Change scares people, I get it. Horse & buggy--->ICE automobiles... ICE--->EVs.
Enjoy your naysaying while you still have time left.
