True. I think it depends on what other car / SUV is his alternative. If it is a Prius Prime with 52mpg and he does his own oil change, the equation would totally tip to the plug in hybrid side. If he compares it against another CUV / SUV then obviously the EV would be a better choice.Depends... If he had a Long Range he could charge at home for cheap, then charge for 15 minutes ($15 or less) on the way home. That would save a lot of gas costs over time.
450 miles / 30 mpg = 15 gallons. 15 gallons * $3.50 per gallon = $52.50. The numbers, of course, depend on the vehicle and the gas price; this is one example.
No oil changes, tune ups, etc. Brakes last a loooong time.
It all depends...
Last week I found out that EV does not sell well in Japan but hybrid does. Turns out gasoline is cheaper than electricity there, despite they have nuke and lots of hot spring but have to import oil.
