Replacing a car

Question

If you are familiar with automobiles, please let me know.

My current car is a 2008 gasoline car.
Now that gas prices are getting higher and my car is getting repaired more often, I am thinking about buying a new car.
I have heard that CA will be phasing out gasoline-powered cars in the future, but do you have any recommendations for a replacement ？
（ In addition, there is an EV charger at a nearby shopping mall, but I live in an apartment so I can charge my car at home at night. I live in an apartment, so I can't charge my car at home at night. ）
I would also like to do Uber and Lyft on the side, so I am thinking that buying would be better than leasing, which has mileage restrictions.

Thank you in advance for your help.

＞ My current car is a 2008 gasoline car.

If my budget was $7000 ～ $8000 for a used car, I'd be ugh, I can't pick this and that.

#4 EV still

Thanks for the detailed explanation.
I was just thinking ？ ？ ？ on posts #2 and #3.
I will consider a Toyota hybrid car.

#5 Recommendations

Thanks for the suggestion.
Both the RAV4 and Sienna are Toyota hybrids.
I would like to put them on the list.

Certainly the car model you choose depends on your family structure, sorry.
We are a single male.

A battery-only EV (BEV) or plug-in hybrid (PHV)(that is, if you can't charge it and if there are no charging stations nearby)Toyota's hybrids are likely to be better. (50〜53mpg)

Anything other than a Toyota would still be fine from a breakdown perspective, if the hassle and expense are acceptable, but would result in higher cost of ownership and unnecessarily increase as a per-mile travel cost.

In the case of used hybrids, deterioration of the drive battery is inevitable, but in the event of its failure, ・ Toyota offers a Platinum Extended Warranty (I forget the name) that covers the cost of replacement and various labor charges (the longest is ＄ 3000 or so. If you have Platinum Extended Warranty, you don't have to worry about it.

If you need to move people or cargo frequently, I recommend a hybrid of a large car as already mentioned. If you have to choose between a full gasoline car and a hybrid car, there seems to be no advantage to choose a gasoline car except for the battery power. The insurance company will have a wide range of information such as your background (single or married, age, age since driver's license, vehicle value, garage status, address, mileage, violation history, whether or not you have Active Demobilizer, etc.) and it depends on the insurance company. In addition, there are discounts available (multiple policies, low mileage, Professional Society membership, etc.), so it is necessary to investigate each insurance company (no matter what kind of car you are buying).

If you are comfortable with your garage situation, how about a second generation Prius ？ (a type of car that is prone to catalyst theft).

Ding dong, life is a bungle.
If you buy a new car and it becomes unusable or
catches fire from the battery and burns up,
negotiate a more expensive replacement car and offer it for free.
You will get a chance at a burnout.

Someone here said you can buy a Toyota hydrogen car at a dramatically reduced price.
