    Thank you for the tips! Especially the quick offhand battery / range formula.

    Yeah, I’m definitely looking into this. I’m mainly worried about all the nonsense with only having the 2016 CRV for like 2 years and making payments on it.

    It’s a good car. I just really can’t stand another $2000 maintenance bill on top of skyrocketing insurance and gas… I’m hoping we’re not “upside down” on the loan but I’ve never tried to do this before so I really gotta be careful with how many gotchas I imagine there are with this process…

    (Ugh. Dealers suuuuck…)

    The 2021 Chevy Bolt has my eye, though. It seems really roomy for being a small platform and the range is pretty great! I’m at least gonna go try and test drive one. They’re running for roughly $17k, which is what I got our CRV for…

    If it lasts even 5 years with all those reduced costs, it feels like it’ll be pretty worthwhile…
