@BenjaminHCCarr@hachyderm.io indeed. EVs are better than PHEVs which act as safety shields until you really understand the cost of maintaining internal combustion. It is so freeing to go electric. 99.9% of all buildings in North America have your energy source. More and more generate it right from the rooftop. #EV #solar
