The 996 has been blowing a hole in my automotive budget recently. Swapping out worn tires and having the car serviced at BRR, including Air Oil Seperator replacement, kicked me in the dick to the tune of $6K.
Objectively, owning and operating the 996 is not a sound financial decision. I do like driving it, but do I like it that much?
Day to day, running around and keeping the EV6 charged up to around 80% hasn't been an issue. I bought a level 1 portable changer with the intention of letting the car soak up juice over night. So far, that's been a pretty successful adventure.
The 110v 12 amp charger can put ~3.7 miles per charge hour into the car. Day to day, I put an average of 21 miles under the wheels. I can easily recover that charge over night while sleeping, topping up to up to ~80% charge. (~235 mile range). I usually won't bother putting the car on the charger over night if I'm over 70% charge at the end of the day.
But what does that actually look like? Well...Like this.
