How so?

I can grab a used Prius V for 12K.

A used Toyota Tacoma is the same price.

One gets 25MPG the other gets 45 MPG


A brand new Toyota will run me over 30 grand now.

A EV Pickup is about the same price.

One gets 25-30 MPG the other will get the equivalent of 80 MPG when you factor in the cost to charge it.

One needs maintenance, oil changes etc.. the other does not which = less down time or trips to get oil changes.

It is a no brainer for me, I want EV fleet vehicles. I have 2 crews driving about 60-100 miles a day. They will pay for themselves in no time flat.
