It gets extremely complicated under the US tax code, but there’s a tax benefit for business owners to lease vehicles over 6,000 pounds gvw. I know somebody who -- I will not recommend this because I think it’s of questionable legality -- has a side business that makes him about $5,000 / year, and writes off all of his…

That’s the price at charging stations; home electricity is less, but not really feasible for me.

I would never buy a Tesla; Elon Musk is one of the worst people in the world, and I could not imagine supporting him by buying one of his cars. Probably a Mustang Mach E will be my next car; there are plenty of people who’ve been driving Fox Body Mustangs around since they were new.

My job is in lower Manhattan; when I lived 6 miles away in Brooklyn it took an hour each way to get there. Now I’m 50 miles away in the suburbs and it takes about 2 hours each way. Thankfully I’m only in the office 2 or 3 days a week so it’s not that big a deal.

I had a Pacifica as a rental a few years ago and loved it. Wanted to get one but my wife absolutely refused. 

Panel, 90-ish feet of running high-voltage line including through one floor, two ceilings, one interior wall, and one exterior wall, but the big expense is the new cabling for the trunk line to the house from the overhead street power line. My house has 60 amp service; upgrading the trunk line requires permitting from…

I mean, my commute is 50 miles each way. But I’m thinking bigger-picture. I’m 41 years old; the next car I buy is going to be the car I drive until I die. 30 years from now you’re not going to be able to buy gasoline. I’m not going to buy into a dying technology with an expiration date.

I’m 41 years old; the next car I buy is going to be the car I drive until I die. 30 years from now you won’t be able to buy gasoline. I’m not buying in to technology with an expiration date.

My box is 60 amps for the whole house combined, so... I don’t know that that would be a good idea. House was built in 1960, and with gas heat/stove/clothes drier they just didn’t anticipate huge electricity loads in the future.

The fact that the driver kept their foot on the gas even after they had crashed into a pole makes it sound like a medical issue to me

The total run of cable required from my box to where the charger would go just outside of my garage is approximately 100 feet, give or take. From the basement at one side of my house, drilled up through the floor and up through the closet in my bedroom, across the attic, through the wall from the house attic into the…

My commute is 50 miles each way. I have a 120v outlet in my garage, which is on a 10 amp breaker that’s shared with my living room, dining room, and basement family room / guest bedroom / bathroom. There’s just no way that charging a car on it would be feasible.

I have a 60 amp panel, so I would need a new panel and a new trunk line from the main electrical line at the street, because mine is original to the house (built in 1960) and simply not designed for the type of draw a stage 2 charger would take. On top of that, the panel is located in the basement on the exact…

My commute is 100 miles a day, 50 miles each way, so I would definitely need more charging than just the 10 amp, 120 volt outlet in my garage. The nearest public charger to me is about 5 or 6 miles away - for whatever reason, Long Island has been slow to adopt public chargers for a place with so many people.

Hadn’t heard of that; it looks like interesting technology. 

My current car I bought new and will have daily driven for 12 years when I buy a car to replace it. Do you really think that gas stations will still exist 12 years from now?

I don’t know that it’s necessarily financially beneficial to buy an EV. The prices / kWh I’ve seen on charging stations near me are around $0.43, which works out to roughly $0.14 per mile for most EV’s, which is the equivalent of paying $3.50 for gas for a car that gets 25 mpg. Maybe that’s different if you can charge…

I would buy this car if it came in full EV form. I’m not buying any more cars with an internal combustion engine, PHEV or no.

I’ve owned some objectively awesome cars — 1968 Dodge Charger R/T; 1991 Mercedes SEL560; 2011 Porsche Cayman; my current 2015 Mustang GT — but none of them give me the “man I wish I still had that” feelings I have for my old 1994 Ford Taurus wagon. It had wonderfully comfortable mouse fur seats; had the rear-facing…

Don’t get me wrong; I love EV's. My next purchase will be an EV. It's just Tesla in particular makes garbage cars under orders from their garbage owner.
