So, I just posted this on Reddit, the info here is stuff I've shared in replies here and on my Friendica about the cost of doing gig work in an electric car.
So, since I was talking with someone about this on my Friendica, I pulled together the numbers for the last billing period of what it cost me to be doing gig last mile delivery work using a Bolt. Even thought I expected there to be some savings, its still rather mind boggling just how cheap it is. Right now I'm running a 2023 Bolt EUV Premier that I kinda inherited when my husband passed, but before that was a 2020 Bolt LT (or whatever the base is).
So, I drive a lot, if'n you don't want to bother doing the math on the second pick, that's 1733 miles during that billing period. As well as the $35 the power company sees in the first pic, there was one public charging at a GM Energy station which didn't cost me anything, but would've been around $12, and I really didn't even need to charge that much, I just wanted to have some extra on the trip home in case I decided to pick up some hot shot work along the way. As to maintenance, $0 regularly scheduled maintenance. I did have some tire related expenses, but since those aren't standard maintenance (and also hard to calculate), I'm not counting that. The original tires, well the fronts, needed replacing so I swapped the tires and wheels I'd saved from the 2020 when I sold it, steelies and regular all season tires on, and yes, those do impact range, but the low repair/replace costs are worth it in my opinion considering the likelihood of damage in my job.
To make these savings even more impressive, before I went electric, I was driving a base model 2018 Subaru Crosstrek with a 6 speed manual. Fuel with discounts ran at least $50 a week, most repair parts are dealer only (seriously, even wiper blades are hard to come by), and oil changes required full synthetic 0W30 every 6K miles at $110 from Jiffy Lube.
So for anyone wondering if'n going electric is worth it, I'd say yes, even without the rebate.
Us, in our tiny little Suzuki Swift nearly got rear ended by one of those giant fucking RAM SUVs this morning (irony noted).
The guy in front of the guy in front of us braked hard, causing the guy in front of us to break, and me to break... the guy in the SUV behind us braked hard as well, but had to swerve into the side verge so he didn't just run into the back of us.
I think it was a mixture of him going fast and not paying attention, more than him being too close (although those giant things have so much weight to them that drivers really need to leave way more stopping space than they do).
Anyways, I'm glad he thought quickly and didn't hit us. But also those things shouldn't be driven by most of the people who have them.
