I don't doubt electric vehicles will be the future. Just not my future. Notice how you never see mention of, "cost of ownership." Or, God forbid, depreciation.
Last week I sold my '98 F150 4.6, 5-speed, 4WD. Purchase price new was $19K. Sold in excellent running condition for $2100 with 261,000 miles. Other than tires, brakes, front wheel bearing hubs, starter, alternator, muffler and head gasket it had no major repairs. If those items repair items cost $5K, then less fuel my cost of ownership was $0.12/mile. So how will an electric vehicle compare to that?
