Reply to weather in NJ by xrt679

It's driving me nuts. I miss real winter so much. It's slushy and gross here a lot of the time (what I really miss is Great Lake effect snow) but this warmth feels WRONG and it will have an effect on crops. There are things that grow in this region (like apples!) that NEED hard freezes to develop properly.

I would advise against considering NJ at that income level unless it is specifically to be closer to family / a support network.

Unless you are tied to the state through family connections it is really only worth moving here if you are going to make an absolute bag.

I’m sorry to hear that. EVs, over the course of their lifetimes, are cheaper to keep on the road. There is very little maintenance required since there are very few moving parts.

Yes the batteries are expensive, but that’s only because BEVs and hybrids have not been the norm. Now that they’re mainstream, the incentive for battery recycling is now on the table. Tesla is already working it at GigaTexas and other manufacturers are looking into it.
