Hi Guys,
I work in Santa Monica but my husband just got a job in San Diego. Because I have enrolled in my employer's tuition reimbursement program, I have a 4 year obligation to my job and can't get a job down there.
We are splitting the commute difference and moving to Irvine--a 50 mile one way-trip for me. To make the commute more tolerable I want to get a car that is eligible for the white single occupant carpool sticker. My work has a charging station in the parking lot and I will be living right by a DC Fast Charging Station in Irvine.
Since my commute won't qualify me for a lease...I plan on buying but have a few reservations. I understand the battery will deteriorate over time--but how quickly? I plan on getting a charging station installed in Irvine, but will fast charging frequently significantly deteriorate the battery? Are there better vehicle options for my commute? After 4 years I will (hopefully) be living/working in San Diego and should have a significantly shorter commute.
Thanks for reading and any insight would be very much appreciated!
