Definitely if you do it yourself. If you have to hire a professional to do it, they use top tier equipment at full markup, and you pay a lot in job hours. Still can be worth it, but contracting the work out is at least double the cost vs. DIY. Some places don't allow DIY, however.

I find it hard to believe that the small population of electric cars, compared to the enormous population of (enormous) pickup trucks & SUVs -- which are the most commonly sold cars these days, by a large margin -- are disproportionally affecting the roads.

And especially not in NH.

My take on the matter, as a Nashua resident but NOT a homeowner, is that all the people who seem mad about it in the Nashua scoop and show up to complain about it are all people who are mad because they live in Nashua purely due to its relative cheapness and that it was close enough to Mass that they could commute. Now with the Home Price bubble, the city reassessing property taxes and all the tax change ups from the pandemic they’re horrified of the idea that Nashua is trying so hard to shake its Trash-ua image and becoming a place that has enough culture and quality that people will want to price them out. It’s fair, but I think anyone who complains about PAC are the same people who cry about the barriers allowing outdoor dining. They hate that their city isn’t a cheap ghost town anymore and that robs them of the convenience they enjoyed by no one wanting to be here or do business here.

I don't mind it, I just hope they have some decent bands come to town like the used to back in the day when Holman Stadium was Holman Stadium. It will be great for all of the local businesses for them to do so. That and Nashua needs some excitement. I've been here 41 years..born and raised and it needs some uplifting. That and to be able to walk to a concert downtown would be badass.
