I like the solutions you've found so far. They sound like a pretty good network of options.

I have a 2018 Honda Clarity, mostly electric with a small (under 10-gallon) gas engine. It's been paid off for years, and maintenance costs have been extremely low. Insurance oddly increased after my divorce. (Guess I'm no longer a "safe" driver now that I live alone and go nowhere?) I batch my errands and seldom go outside my 100,000 person town, so the ~40-mile electric range covers me for several days.

I would consider going mostly car-free after this. There is a bus system in my town, plus a ride on demand service. With the various shopping programs you've mentioned and friends with cars, I think I could do something similar.

These are pretty brilliant! You made it sound so easy. I bet none of these deals are available in Canada lol. But my car is paid off and pretty much sits in the garage all day while I work at home. I use it for weekend getaways and trips to the dog park.
