An intriguing thought is also how everyone calculates recuperated costs.

I'm certain that getting a Polestar 2 would save me a ton of money.

But by my math, it'd take me a year to see any savings after I hire an electrician to run 240v to the other side of my garage (or I wire clamp an extension cord across my roof) and purchase some sort of 'smart' charger/wallbox. Food for thought.

On the other hand, not sure why that guy's tweaking about the costs to drive a Tesla. Even IF it wasn't $17 for 900 miles, he's saying it's double... $34 a month is far cheaper than a month of gas in my Miata or M3.

Also, what many don't take into account is geography. There's a reason why all the high wattage crypto farms were built in warehouses near hydroelectric dams, not in Los Angeles.
