Hubs isn't keen on it at this time, but we may consider a good used hybrid if we found one. Our two previous neighbors each have a Tesla and love them, but one of them who travels a lot pointed out that there's things to consider: 1) Electricity and costs to 'fuel' your baby, 2) When electricity goes out for a few days, you need a generator (whole-house or portable) or solar energy (may need to get a battery to store some energy, especially during days of little or no sun), and 3) Taking long trips requires planning. It takes our neighbor 3-4 days to get up to Denver, CO because he needs to find an EV post to plug into along the way. Around town and short trips are a breeze. There's also consideration for old battery disposal, but that's another issue. We love our F-150 Ford Lariat diesel truck, and she gets awesome fuel mileage...600 miles until fill up (30 mpg highway) (27-28 mpg in town).
