I never have to do any maintenance like oil changes. That also saves time.

Every day driving I save hours.
On a long trip I stop every 200-300 miles, get out and use the restroom and get a snack, and spend maybe 10 minutes eating the snack, and the car's ready to go.

So I'm probably + (plus) a few hours on all my cumulative cross country trips, and - (minus) days worth of time with my everyday driving and lack of required maintenance and replacing broken ICE car parts over the life of the car.

But the beauty of an EV is way beyond just saving time over an ICE vehicle, it is the future.

Just look at the new Cybertruck. No more 12 volt architecture, all 48 volts! That's a change that's been long overdue!

The new Cybertruck is getting dismal reviews... Which is surprising...
