Hi welcome to the BMV how may I help you? I'm here to register my microwave it has an electric motor

🙄

Damn. I don’t need a frickin car that I can’t drive when it’s cold. Jesus H. Christ.

This is my thing. These people here are like “its 10 miles to work” and I’m wondering what big city they live in. It’s 10 miles to the nearest Publix for me my guy. Don’t ask me about my commute either.

DailyCommute = 130 miles

Yay!

Whenever an EV comes out with a sub-200 mile range, some people pan it, and others inevitably say something like “But the average daily commute is only X miles…”.

Pushing the envelope but legally a bicycle.

E-bikes make perfect sense for commuting, but we should really just call them what they are, mopeds. (Definition: Low powered motorized bicycle.)

It’s really not that hard to differentiate between the an e-bike and an motorcycle. Does it have pedals? Do you have to pedal to ride it? It’s an e-bike. If it doesn’t have…

You have a valid point, but if you can get 2.5 times the range for a few thousand more than the top level trim from a Tesla, there is no conceivable reason for this car to exist anywhere outside of compliance markets.

Agreed. I purchased a Bafang BBSHD kit (like pictured above) and commuted on nice days. 10 miles each way to work, and on days with heavy traffic I know I’m quicker than driving.

I ride an ebike. Home built using an old specialized trail bike. I love it. Ride it every day, use it for commuting. 30mph, 15-20 mile range (I live 2.5 miles from work). It saves a ton of money, and is really enjoyable. I have a regular bike too, but almost never ride it anymore.

The best electric car for a road trip is still a shitty car for a road trip.

So is the mid-seven second 0-60 and I'm really less concerned with the distance, 181hp is a joke for a 'semi-perfomance' minded model/brand.

Come on Mini, er I mean BMW. Just admit you don’t really want to sell an electric Mini. You ‘leased’ the Mini E in 2009 and it had a 100 mile range.

It’ll be usable as a city car, but they better make it damn cheap. You can get a used e-Golf for a pretty decent price these days, and if it’s a second-gen (2017 or newer) it will equal or beat the Mini’s range.

110 miles is a fucking joke.

Yuck.

I so disagree. Not sure where you’re from, but here in the north east - I consider it almost a requirement. I’ve had 2 wheel (mostly rear) for over 25 years. Got my first 2 vehicles with AWD/4x4, and will never look back for my daily driver. ME, MA, NH, RI...I think it should be borderline mandatory.

of course she missed the requirement for a back seat.
