Personally I like the new Toyota bZ with pricing lower than Rav4 and great financing options.

But, the Rav4 LE AWD model at couple thousand dollars more has acceptable MPG (hybrid), more cargo room/interior space and would likely fare better in emergency situations if you need to bug out.

On the other hand, if you have solar, battery and charging setup at home, EV or plug in hybrid would benefit from bug in scenarios where local gas stations run dry. Plus the battery system can also power your home. For shortet duration outages, your EV's V2H can keep the lights on.
 
Yet another EV economic disaster foisted upon us by a stupid, virtue signaling government that will cost us taxpayers Billions and accomplish…nothing!🤬🤬🤬👎🏽🦄🌈

The Electric Bus Bust Mayhem Continues​

Ninety-six million dollars’ worth of electric buses sit idle across South Florida, some parked in a landfill, others lined up at the Homestead Air Reserve Base.

...Across South Florida, dozens of electric buses purchased with tens of millions of taxpayer dollars remain parked and out of service, more than a year after they were pulled from the road.

36 cents per mile for diesel and $3.18 per mile for electric

I bought a 2026 bZ earlier this month for this exact reason. I have solar/battery with excess daily production, so it made much more sense to replace my ICE daily driver with an EV. No more gas stations for the daily commute ever again :) The incentives on the bZ are quite good, even if not as lucrative as last month's. The only other EV that has better incentives is the Ioniq 5, but the ICCU nightmare has yet to be resolved after how many years now...
