Thanks, I owned every generation, I wasn't speaking of rebranding, but each successive generation.
The BYD Shark is an awesome truck. It's genius similar to the Chevy Volt. No transmission , same system as a train with electric motors.
The devil is in the details....literally.
It looks like you’re not getting how this works:
In a way the Trax and Trailblazer that GM imports from their division in Korea kinda are the legacy of Geo. Adjusted for inflation the $6,700 base Metro in 1990 is $16,700 today, so not too far off a base of those models that goes for around $21K (for now). They are not going to last 300K miles, but probably 150K and change with maintenance done. Just basic transportation.
I'm in one of the vacant parts.It looks like you’re not getting how this works:
Everyone charges their EV at home. If you have an EV, in most places, they have an EV rate plan that will give you cheaper electricity at night than is available to non-EV owners.
These night time rate plans make home charging cost less than half as much as charging at a supercharger station.
imagine if your options for fueling your Maverick were 1) go into town and pay $3 a gallon for gas at the gas station, or 2) let the utility company install underground pipes to you house for zero cost and then pump your own gas at your house for $1.50 a gallon. Who would go to the gas station? No one. Well, except when going on a road trip, where you didn’t have the ability to get back to your house to pump it for cheap.
That is how it works owning an EV. So it doesn’t matter if you are rural. And your claim that there is zero infrastructure to charge, is just plain wrong. You have electricity going to your house right? 99.99% of all American homes have electricity. If you have electricity, you have the infrastructure to charge an EV. You just need to install a charger, which is not super complicated and can be done by an electrician in under 30 minutes.
And you don’t need supercharger stations by your house. You don’t even need supercharger stations within 100 miles of your house because you have enough range to get further than that. And if you are close to your house, you want to be charging at home to save $.
So, even if you live in rural NW Penn, the furthest that a charger will be from you is 70 miles. And once you get on the interstate system, there are chargers every 60 miles.
Exactly this. The people that knock it (EV’s), most likely haven’t tried it. Once they try it, they almost always like it.
You forgot one............ If you get the vaccine, you may still get covid, but are less likely to die. This is/was sort of important to a lot of people . Careful when you pick and choose the points you present.
IF, that really is a big word isn't it...........
I ask EV drivers all the time if they like their EV and ALL say they will never go back to gas vehicles. Hard to believe but today there are more EV charging stations/plug-ins than gas pumps. Most of my neighbors are driving EV Nissan Leafs or Teslas. Most Tesla owners don't care for Elon Musk but like his cars.
Here’s the thing, I used to spend more time at gas stations than I ever do at EV charging stations. I do 25-28k miles per year for work commute. I had to gas up twice a week. I timed my gas stops and I averaged 10 minutes from leaving the freeway to entering after filling up. I work 48 weeks per year. 10 x 2 x 48 =960 = 16 hours wasted getting gas each year.
However in the 3 years I’ve been driving an EV, I’ve had zero issues that would make me shy away from continuing to buy and drive EV’s.
Oh, but it would not have been gold................and the greatest, and the most readable, and the most accurate, and the most blessed, and etc. Get em while you can!!!!!!
No humor
