Mrs. CTL and I leased an Electric Jaguar I-Pace to replace her Lincoln whose lease expired recently. When comparing costs it was similar to a new gas powered Lincoln of similar size and equipment/trim.
We have full solar in the CTL compound and sell excess to our local utility so it will cost nothing to charge. The mfg of rapid charge stations who is in the process of installing 4 at the CTL office building will also install a double unit at the compound at no cost.
Right now in CT there are state programs that make the cost of a rapid charge station free to the building owner,
Our town is considering changes to the zoning rules that will require every new commercial building to have as many rapid charge stations as required handicapped parking spaces.
All new residential (1-4 family) construction will be required to have one rapid charging station for each two units. Again, all at no cost to the owner.
We realized that we typically don’t drive more than 50 miles in a day, so range is not important to us.
