The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It isn’t when you have an EV. I just had this conversation with my wife a few days ago. My EV is $22/mo in electricity with my commute. My old gas car was $150/mo at best. What the comic leaves out is the cost of insurance on the EV being about $150/mo and my old car was dirt cheap so it’s almost a wash. The EV is a hell of a lot more fun to drive though.
I think they meant literally, "it cost" as in past tense. If you're referring to a specific, previous event, then it makes grammatical sense. But it sounds like he's comparing the cars generally, so it sounds more appropriate to say "it costs"
