“From $110,900.”

If you’ve got a 120V outlet, you can charge a PHEV every day. Charging a full EV is a lot more difficult for most. Some might also have charging at work, but not at home, or charging they can’t rely on (one or two stations in an apartment complex). Maybe you go on road trips a few times a year and don’t want to worry…

But literally all that’s changing is the units being measured. So instead of wanting a large number, you would now be wanting a small number.

Tanks come in many different sizes so that number would do nothing but inspire manufacturers to make tanks bigger.

“I read it, but maybe it’s me and everyone I know that realizes that 10 or 15 mpg is bad.”

It sounds like you didn’t read the article. Because it tells you exactly why it makes a difference.

Why would you ask for two figures that have zero to do with vehicle efficiency under an article about how replacing the most visible figure used to signify vehicle efficiency with another one would improve informed purchasing and policy decision making?

I had that same thought. Why would he challenge a person who was bringing his daughter home?

He says he’s a doctor but I don’t see any markings, white coat or stethoscope so I think it’s only fair for someone to pull a gun on him, force him to the ground, make him show his medical board credentials and his med school degree for good measure because everyone knows what’s going on in the US with people…

Absolutely this for me. For years I assumed a Tesla was an inevitable purchase for me just because of the Superchargers. Even as quality began to dip, and Elon slowly got worse, I figured I could hold my nose through that to get the only vehicle that had a good charging experience. While I *did* break past that before…

I bought a used Tesla Model 3 to support my soccer watching habit.

Funny how people on the right rage against “cancel culture” while embracing it just as much as anyone else.

After living with my Kona EV with SLOW (70kw peak but averages more around 40-50 kw) DC fast charging and also a mediocre range (from 220-300 miles a charge) for a year and put 23k miles on it in the said year...

Which is why I brought up Supercharger access. I’ve talked to so many people who felt like Tesla was their only option because of the charging network. Once the dam broke there, suddenly anyone who wants an EV gets the biggest benefit of owning a Tesla without having to buy a Tesla.

The fact that power actually reduces the need for transmission speeds, was a fact that was burning a hole in my nerd brain. Thanks for relieving the pressure.

Hell, Top Fuel Dragsters have 10,000 hp and they only have one gear.

holy shit, a 1969 Dodge Charger fan is an annoying 60-year-old whiner who blames everything he doesn’t like on the namby-pamby east coast liberal elite? now i’ve seen everything

You mean single issue ‘fascism’. Regulation of roads/cars is not fascism. You may not like it, it may be antithetical to our American values, but it is not fascism if democratically elected officials enact these regulations. Driving is not a right. Hell if we got together as a society (through our democratically…

Ok yes I agree in part with you, but this is not some liberal semi facism thing. It’s just selective outrage, and it’s common to both conservatives and liberals, meaning everyone. Don’t try to make it more than it is with your own personal bias. That’s how we become divided on issues we all actually agree on to turn…
