SoCal_NSX - FYI - "I took Jeep to Tahoe" is new meme in SLT.
Must watch with audio on

I drove my E70 on the same road 4 hours before the mess on the video.
And a week before got rear-ended by a similar driver on a nearby street.
Back on the topic.
I commute between SF and Tahoe once a week, sometimes twice a week for last 3 years.
snow season - E70 35d (26mpg max), all other times 335d (36mpg max)
While I like some DIY, but with ~30Kmi/year I would not mind charging an EV at home and skip gas station, at least summer time.
The diesel is >$5/gal in CA (last year was as high as $7/gal).
Electricity here is not cheap either, but with long commute EV cost/mile (including depreciation, maintenance and fuel, excluding vehicle price) is something to look into.
I am not ready to make a switch to EV - I love my E-fleet, hate sticking out EV monitor and not comfortable to dump $100K on R1S.
I guess my 2c that for those who drive >2Kmi/month may actually save some "time" by not going to gas station (and public charger) by charging EV at home and additional "time" for reduced EV maintenance.
For me, fuel station is 15 minutes divert to get quality diesel, then 5min fill-up, every 500mi
On the other side of spectrum, I scored large pothole near Phillips last week.
The front E70 AD strut alone will be $1K.
In case of EV it will be more and I'll have to scramble for parts.
