100% this. As a longtime EV owner, I’ve been screaming from the rafters that EVs will never proliferate into dense urban areas (where arguably they are needed most and make the most sense) until we can electrify the public parking options. Fast chargers are not a solution to the problem, they are merely a convenience…

Cost...It is literally that simple. FHEVs generally come at a premium of $2-3K and the math often doesn’t work. Take a Rav4 Hybrid, it costs about $3k more upfront and will net you maybe 9MPG more in mixed driving. With 15k miles a year, you will save about 100 gallons. At $4/gallon, you save $400/year. The payoff is…

I’ll start criticizing America’s love for gas powertrains when an EV truck can drive across Texas without having to stop four times to charge, eight times if they’re towing.

Hey! I made it into Jalopnik. I’m “el.chepito1985". I knew it would get views when I posted it but didn’t it would accelerate me onto pages of Jalopnik.

Every now and then cancer gets one right. 

Too soon?

This has a Spinal Tap 18" Stonehenge vibe. Also I think there were better uses for $400,000 than a mediocre sign.

The disappointment is real

Look, using one of these fancy buses for “camping” is something that I just don’t get. You need a mobile living platform for a spell, I get it—actor on location—but camping?

It’s really just an evolution of the shape and styling of the Wraith

The owners won’t care, but it does mean Jeeves will have an easier trip to meet them at the next airport to pick them up.

It is quite an interesting commentary on our society that this truck is basically designed on a more dystopian view of the future and people’s reactions are “yeah, that’s what I want!”

Trading in our ‘22 Bolt EV on a ‘23 Bolt EUV at CarMax today. Wife wants heated seats, I want SuperCruise and #bluecar.

Been shopping for pickup trucks lately? This is the luxury model and ya that’s kind of what they go for. Given the cost of operation, the electric truck is still way the fuck cheaper than the $80k ICE truck at the 200,000 mark.

I turn 70 in less than a year, and I drive a NC Miata and an Golf Alltrack - both manuals. If I had a boatload of cash to waste on cars I’d get a GX 550 and a LC 500 / Emira / Boxter GTS 4.

The more news I see such as this, the more I love my Cadillac Lyriq.

To bring back something from the old days: “building cars is hard”.

I’d would hope Jalop would know that HEV’s and PHEV’s ARE EV’s. Title should be. “

So I have a $1039 payment on a Hyundai Santa Cruz. But hear me out.

Yeah. This is some silly-ass suburban bullshit.
