    I bought an electric car.

    Now when I drive by the gas station I couldn’t care less how much gas costs!

    I’ve never tasted such freedom.

      Nice. How do you like charging at home / at stations? Are charging stations sometimes a pain? I haven’t seen many but I’m also not actively looking out for them but from what I’ve heard it’s all expanding nicely.

      I’m looking to trade in aTacoma for a Ford F150 lightning or some other electric pickup since 99.9% of the time it’s just used to drive around town.

        I’ve been having some issues getting the plug installed. I’ve gotten estimates across the board from 1600 bucks to 8k! But I’ll get it taken care of eventually.

        I live in Georgia USA and there are plenty of dead areas for chargers unlike California where you can’t spit without getting it on a fast charger.

        If you get a level 2 charger installed in your house it is completely possible to charge only at your house.

        Chevy is releasing the Silverado and Suburban fully electric along with the Equinox. It’s worth a consideration.
