A lot of extremely wealthy people I know lease their cars so it’s not like leasing is just for aspirational buys, nothing wrong with a lease if you already know you’re likely to change cars in a couple years plus there can be tax benefits. Sometimes I keep a car for a long time, sometimes I dump it in a year so purchasing makes sense for me and sometimes I finance sometimes I just write a check.

$750 isn't bad at all especially factoring in NO gas... no maintenance... no brakes. actually it's extremely good!

You know where all of that savings will go?
in 10 years at 100K+ miles, your EV will need a new battery, let's just say a cheap one, for $15,000 plus labor and fees, your total will be $20,000 sir.
Meanwhile, at 100K, say a v6 Lexus ES350, still is considered "mint", need nothing... here you have it folks, all things will balance out, as it was all planned

Exactly. Neither a lease nor an EV is personally for me, but it's a cold fact that lessees don't have to worry about battery replacements.

Oh, don't get ahead of yourself"I never said that! My first experience at a charging station was enlightening and frustrating. I couldn't understand why my charging speed showed hours instead of 30 minutes. This was from 10% to 80%. It turned out that the 350 kW chargers were only registering at 39 kW. I tried 8 of them, and the remaining customers tried the others. All were slow as SH&T, and other people tried other chargers as well. Apparently, this issue is common there. I'll be glad when my home charging gets installed in a few days. I won't have to travel an hour round trip and spend 3 hours."
