Monthly budget

I was gonna say, it takes 10 hrs to charge my camper battery on 30 amps.

Maybe he wants to use it like a rv and spend the night places. Who am I to judge

From my research, a level 2 charger at 32 amps would add about 20-30 miles per hour. That would very safely cover my wife’s commute each day.

That's shockingly fast.

Id rent one for a weekend If I was in the market for a new car.

I'll keep in mind.I drive a LOT.

Good discussion and one of my goals is to become better as a couple at budgeting without it becoming emotional.

@Nick87 Look at the leasing options too.

I have in the past but with the miles I put on it didn't look too favorable.

Many moons ago ditched a $220mo car payment and leased a Fiat500e for $0 down/$209mo. Charged at work only for free, got access to the HOV lane (cut commute time by 45-60 min a day). The most financially responsible car i've ever had. I miss Guiseppe.

Newer Toyota camry hybrid get an honest 50+ mpg. Its flat impressive in every way. Its also available with awd and it doesn't need a plug in so unlimitedrange. Only down side is tall people getting in and out.
500mi on a 10gal tank.

Had an '09, it went to Grandson's family when they needed 4 doors for baby. Splendid boring transportation.
