You guys might be right. I just know what I hear. Maybe it depends on the amount of miles driven a day.
Had the conversation again tonight with a large group of guys. They average about 100-120 miles a week.( Run all over playing sports) They pay 12-15 dollars a week. About 600 dollars a year. Over 4 years, about 2,400 dollars. Batteries last about 4 years and they cost about 800 dollars. So there is their math. Plus they love that electric is quiet and no smell and no running to gas stations or storing gas.
I think it comes down to how many miles you drive a day and what you like.
