I think my taxes will be much easier to do next year. I think I've been getting myself unusually worried about things that are not that important.
The EV has been really wonderful so far. As a cost comparison, my EV (aka Manju) gets around 3 miles a kilowatt hour. It seems like I am paying about 11 cents a kilowatt hour but the bill is nearly undecipherable to me. So a 30-mile trip should cost about $1.10 if I use a home charger. Compared with my SUV (aka Thurstin Pigglesworth the third) a 30-mile trip should take around a gallon and a half of fuel, so somewhere around $6.75.
Manju is really a pleasure to drive and is much faster, smoother, and less noisy compared with Mr. Piggles. It is also arguably the fastest vehicle that I've owned because at any moment there is plenty of power without having to downshift to get into the power band of a gas-powered engine.
At a future point, I would like to get some solar panels and do the home charging with them. Between the EV and a heat pump, I will be mostly carbon neutral. Just a guess based on the increasing scarcity of fossil fuel, I'm expecting the price of everything to go up so not caring so much about the price of gas is nice.
