I actually live in Canada, where everything is quite a long ways away. I live in the northern

region of Canada, and I drive about 7,000 to 8,000 kilometers per month. And I was wondering,

should I be looking at maybe leasing an electric

vehicle or keeping my current gas SUV? Okay. Is there anything you want to add to that?

You seem like you're going to say something else. I was just going to say because the amount I spend

in gas each month is roughly $200 less than an electric car lease with the extra kilometers for $80,000 per year.

So that's why I thought, I'm usually very against leasing, but I thought, I don't know, is this the one time that there's an exception here?

I'm not 100% sure.

Well, I think there's two, it sounds like there's two issues here.

One is the affordability of your gas and if you want to lower your gas bill.

And the other issue is if you choose to change vehicles, can you afford it?

And you do have the cash to buy the vehicle.

So let's look at it kind of separately for that purpose.

First off, for your gas SUV, what are you spending now?

How many dollars are you spending a month to fill it up and do all that?

About $1,280.

So that's the average in the past three months I looked at.

Okay.

And you're saying that with an electric vehicle,

you could lower that by $200?

No.
