A Redditor has been loving their electric vehicle and recently shared their purchasing journey with the community at r/Rivian.
"I've always appreciated trucks! I had a 2018 F150 Raptor 802A. Ride was fantastic and super smooth. Spending 125$ to fill up was starting to put a strain on my wallet after two years," wrote the original poster.
This led them to upgrade to a Tesla Model Y, and after a few years, they landed on the Rivian R1T.
"Looking forward to getting this ride squared away and enjoying it for many years to come!" said the poster.
Other Rivian owners have also happily vouched for the quality of their electric trucks.
The Redditor raised an important point about gas cars: They're expensive to fuel up. Running on electricity is much cheaper, and it's possible to save even more by relying on home solar power.
Smart upgrades that slash monthly energy bills
If you're looking to slash your energy bills or make charging an EV even cheaper, consider going solar. Here are some tips to make your solar journey as easy as possible.
• EnergySage can help you save up to $10,000 on installations by curating competitive bids from local installers
• Not ready to spend up front? Palmetto's $0-down LightReach solar leasing program can lower your utility rate by up to 20%
• TCD's Solar Explorer makes it easy to access exclusive offers from preferred partners
Saving money is a major benefit of switching to an EV, but it's not the only one. Driving produces a lot of pollution, which affects local air quality and the wider atmosphere. That pollution accelerates destructive weather patterns, which ultimately incur costs to homeowners, farmers, and society at large.
The Reddit community was happy to see another EV owner among their ranks.
