    Electric cars (Tesla+) are much more expensive than gasoline cars to purchase initially.

      Are they? An equivalent model don't seem to be significantly more new, and you can now get some great deals on secondhand EVs.

      I'm in the UK and have now gone completely electric - motorbike (Zero SRF), car (wife's Model 3) and van (ID Buzz). To be honest though, that was mostly because I like EVs - yes, even the motorbike. The fuel costs are just a bonus.
