I for one will be thinking two or three times before getting on Muni for a long time, even after COVID is supposedly over and may just get a car although I'll try making due with Uber and car sharing as I have been. For now, I don't consider plug-in electric vehicles practical for anyone who plans to use it for intercity travel (long road trips). As a second car or an only car if you are pretty sure you'll use it only around town it's OK. I'm pretty used to renting for intercity trips so I might consider an electric if I get one but my condo presently has a very limited number of spaces with charging facilities and I suspect most San Franciscans living in multifamily housing have that issue. Anyway, electrics need mechanic shops periodically too even if they don't need oil changes. |
Tesla Model 3 cars require very little maintenance, and can travel 350 miles+ between charges. There are also hundreds of chargers all over CA, people drive from SF to LA every day. Though if you don't have a convenient charger it will be frustrating when you do have to charge on occasion. There are Tesla superchargers in the Presidio, Daly City, Berkeley, Oakland, etc. All you technically need to charge it is a regular 110V plug, but a 220V is much better.
