Yeah i just filled up our ICE (RX400h) and at 25mpg and $4.70/gal it’s $0.19/mile. Just the ICE number sounds suspiciously low. You’d need to average 30mpg at the US average of $3.40/gallon which isn’t really representative of the ICE fleet (it’s more like 25 mpg)

the EV is running on $0.36/kwh and gets about 333…

Was it refurbished and sold by Apple? If so, it should have had the full new product warranty.

I respect your objection.

No.

I’ve been buying Apple certified refurbs for years and years. Never had a problem with them. Yeah they could be cheaper, but I’ve found them to be as reliable as new items.
