It boggles my mind that people spend $200k on an RV bus like that instead of, you know, just renting a cabin somewhere and driving to it. $200k goes a long way on Air BnBs, and I guarantee they are more comfortable!

EVs are crazy efficient in the city. My aunt has a Bolt that would get 310+ miles on a full charge at her city driving rate, even though its rated for about 250.

Range =/ efficiency. 281 miles using about 105 of the 107 kWh battery is only 2.6 miles per kilowatt-hour. Most EVs are thein the 3.0-4.0 range. 

The v4 Superchargers are a big deal because they can natively delivery voltages higher than 400v. Right now, if you have an 800v architecture EV, like a Hyundai Ioniq, your speeds at a supercharger (with a converter) are limited to about 100 kW, because the car uses its own motors to step the voltage up from 400 to…

It’s just a car Thomas. 

That’s a pretty screaming deal. So low-cost EVs do exist!

A true hero. When I grow I want to be like you!

Yes, a switch to EVs would greatly benefit society; improved air quality, lower GHG emissions, etc. So it makes sense to use tax dollars to spur that transition and make it faster than it would otherwise happen. It’s a win-win. 

Really good looking cars in person. Excellent taste. 

The only EV that Toyota makes is easily the worst EV on the market; slow, slow charging, limited range, expensive, no real tech to speak of.

Crazy to because I live in one of the most expensive places in the country (Santa Monica) and like . . . people aren’t like that with cars here. Doctors and lawyers drive Chevy Bolts “because it was cheat and has good AC.”

I’m a person and I want (and have) an EV. 

If you drive around 60 miles a day, a regular 120v outlet will be just fine for charging your car overnight. 

The Ioniq 5 is basically that exact car, with the current rebates. 

I just did a one-pay lease for a new Ioniq 5 SEL RWD. All in, with taxes etc, it worked out to like $340/mo.

This country was also built on poor white labor, too. Although, to be fair, when a lot of Italians and Greeks and Poles and Jews came here, they weren’t really seen as “white” either, so you’re probably right. 

Yes, but you have to also include the equivalent down-stream affects of fossil fuel use, which includes the environmental of drilling for oil (often in the most environmentally-sensitive places on earth, like the North Sea and Alaska), the environmental and social impact of oil drilling (hello, Middle Esat!),…

Dull? The Ioniq 5 is one of the most distinctive cars on the market. It’s fine not to like it, but it is anything but dull.

I just did a lease on an Ioniq SEL. Hyundai dealerships are pretty much bottom of the barrel. I hired a broker to just do the deal for me; the $600 was money well spent avoid talking to slimy car dealers and make sure I didn’t get hosed.

Ah yes, protecting US interests like ::checks notes:: taxing Americans 100% for new car purchase.
