You pay nothing for gas, but what do you pay to charge the EV ?

That pesky preparation part proves to be a stumbling block for many. Add to that, many people don't want to be the boss, don't want to commit to the path of financial well being. That's ok too.

Four ways that I can think of.

1 - Earn it, live frugally, save what you don't spend. Watch it grow. That's what I did and now, at 76, no mortgage payments, no car payments, no credit card debt, and a big savings account.

2 - Win the lottery.

3 - Steal it and hope you don't end up in prison or dead.

4 - Inherit it.

The fifth way: Marry it.
