    I have an EV. Yay my fuel price isn’t changing. But only for my car. Everything else is shipped using mostly gas. So that all goes up. Buy local. Thankfully the last year has increased local production of many necessary items. Continue avoiding buying anything American since Trump continues to make life more difficult for everyone in the world.

    Naw, that shit will affect every crevice of the economy. I’ve already had to increase certain areas of my budget three times within the last several months because inflation has gone up an insane amount in a short time. The only saving grace is that where I live winter is almost over.

    Most people who drive ICE cars can’t afford fancy hybrids or EVs.

    Real classy looking down on them, but I guess the image fits.

      I live in an apartment building. Kinda hard to have an EV with no way to charge it. Would definitely like one though.

        The ones I see around my complex just have like a communal charger from a local business lol, it’s doable if people can come together and agree on something like that

        When I lived in an apartment I used the standard 120V outlet to charge overnight, at some point I did add ~$40 to my rent to get a garage space and used that 120V outlet instead.
