a ICE engine would need rebuilding 2 times to reach .5 million miles.
Not in a Uber, Lyft, Cruise...service model. They are driven like mules, not by gentle owners.
I worked with a German born engineer, he drove his MB diesel to 500K miles.
Rebuilt engine, transmission, exhaust system a coupla times, seats reupholstered, even radio bracket broke.
Prius MPG is outstanding - if one can get 65 mpg reliably, it is the hyper-miler sphere.
When I had a 2012 Prius PI, I bested just north of 50.
So if your partner is so good driving in hybrid mode, carrying a big battery around is not going to help much!
The problem is your cost/kwh.I also have PGE, which may be dead man walking - rates are not good but worse, must go up. I have EV1 plan, nite rate 9cent/kwh when I charge. If you have solar pv, it can be free. Yes, pv cost, all that. PV have a service life of at least 20 yrs. I am amortizing breakeven 6-8 yrs is fine.As is my EV electrons does not affect this at all.
You shouldn't compare PI-P with Hybrid Prius. Hybrid is already a partial EV. Compare it to an similar ICE.
Beside that, investing in a solar is a no brainer.
How many kwh do you use per year, and how much did you budget for the installation?
PV solar: ymmv. Taking ’09-’12 stock return as benchmark is silly. If that isn’t chery picking data big time. Feb 2009 is the market bottom of the great recession, The rest is history. If I only look at sp500 return from 2009 to 2018 (SP500 when from 750 to 2900, eyeballing ok?) Genius. Let look at house price appreciation too from 2009. Lol
With my tax rates, $3000 dividend is only $1500 after-tax.
What's funny?
The more you write the more you step into "it".
my marginal tax rate on investment income is also a factor. Fed + CA + NIIT = 50.1% tax.
but what I think you meant is Qualified Dividends
Thank you. You are right; I stand corrected. Mostly what it has meant for me, almost all the "Ordinary" dividends were also "Qualified". The exception was some income that was actually more like "interest" from bond funds and such.
