$2.07 todayAnd yesterday, it was 1.86 for diesel![]()

Guess who’s going EV shopping this weekend? Lol. Craziness. Used EV’s Seem pretty cheap and $1000+ a month on diesel is not. I figure I can get another car and break even compared to driving the truck every day
I’m sure it’ll keep going up and this war won’t be done quickly. So I’m gonna buy a used EV and take a chance on a used car. I’ve never bought a new car, but buying a used electric car seems scarier than a gas car for some reason. I figure if it last two years instead of driving the truck, it’ll pay itself off.I paid 2.28 at the pump yesterday and the fuel dock in Steveston was 2.29. 10 cents again in a day? Robbery

You need a battery health readout on a used EV, odometer reading is less important. A quick assessment is to read its range in km at 100% charge and compare that to official range when new (Google it). More accurate figure can be had with an OBD2 dongle and a free app.I’m sure it’ll keep going up and this war won’t be done quickly. So I’m gonna buy a used EV and take a chance on a used car.

I’m bringing my Bluetooth obd2 reader. Some of the cars I’m gonna look at have way less range compared to battery percentage than others so I’m staying away from those. Example is, one has 143 km range at 62% charge which sucks, and another has 158km range at 45% charge. I know which one I’m picking out of those comparables.You need a battery health readout on a used EV, odometer reading is less important.

Gen 2 Nissan Leaf or a Chevy Bolt are both good choices for commuter car.
