I have my late Father’s Dad Car...

You’d find a reason not to like me - I tend to sing Kum Ba Yah off-key...

^^^ an obvious truth!

While I don’t believe in publicly shaming non-charging EV drivers, I do like to have non-charging EV’s parked in charging slots ticketed.

I read a recent utilities report cited on an EV website said that the utilities in EV-heavy municipalities had shown no great increase in system loads.

..... adding more safety features simply makes people drive more careless.

Empty Mountain Dew bottle.

And said 100's of gallons of fuel tend to pollute quite a bit. 

That’s a thing now?

An option is to buy a 4-5 year old Honda Civic & a 3-4 year-old 100-mile range EV, combined for $25k-$30k, in lieu of buying a $30-$40k single new vehicle.

Most people don’t need a bro-truck.

- are you charging while parked in said-convenient sweet parking spot?

We have a ~90-95 mile EV in the household fleet that my wife uses as a DD to work & taking 2 children to school. She uses this in lieu of using the 15-16mpg City minivan for daily errands.

No garage here; EV parked in the open for 3.5 years now, in rain, Sun, hot, cold, snow. No charging issues.

3.5 year EV owner here; no issues with home charging or remembering to plug in, especially as we plug in each time we arrive home.

‘Tall Wagon’

Hmm... Had 4 W124 wagons. How ‘bout those self-destructing engine bay wiring harnesses that achieved crispy goodness over time?

Mazda 5 was a safety nightmare?

Mine was ‘07 Mazda 5 Sport with 5-speed manual transmission was literally bullet-proof for nearly 200k miles - and still on the original clutch when Bambi opted to commit suicide.

The Mazda 5 failed due to lack of marketing & dealership sales-dork support.
