I do! Still, I’m not going out on a limb suggesting that most EV owners also have another, non-electric car in the garage (78% according to this):https://evadoption.com/multi-vehicle-households-in-the-us-a-huge-opportunity-for-lower-range-evs/

Horrible reliability lead me to trade my V60 for an Outback. You are right about Volvo not wanting to sell wagons in the US. The Outback is a big wagon and does most things better than the Volvo, but looks boring and their are sooo many of them. I’m still holding out hope that America will rediscover wagons.

It’s not just the cost of the EV. Everyone I know who has an EV also has:

Honestly I don’t think it is a slam-dunk ND.  This is the top of the market, but not way over, and this is a semi-unique example in a “look at me” color. That said, you could get an actual original T-bird for around 30k too.

Volvo S60 R Design AWD can be had for sub $30k and even comes in a few “colors”

On the (very) rare occasion when I need to haul big things, I rent a truck from Home Depot. The have custom modded F250s that have a short cab and a lower bed that you can actually use. At $19/hr it’s all the truck I will ever need.

Posting this in the hope that with enough stars the prices will plummet and I can convince Mrs. Paaron that we need one. Help me out here.

NQNP (not quite nice price) This car is almost painfully pretty, especially compared to the current offerings from BMW.

500 (almost) miles! Can flying cars be far behind?

ND for me, but the trippy design on those manuals remind me of ‘70s religious pamphlets

Really wondering how many first-time EV owners will trade in for a new EV, or go back to ICE. So many cool new EVs on the market, but without the chargers they are only ever going to be commuter cars and rich-guy toys.

Electrify America says that they plan to replace 600 aging EV chargers”. What? Electrify America is, like, 6 years old- how long are these things supposed to last? 

Now playing

This is as good a time as any to plug this show:

crashed her Volkswagen Polo into a lamp post at full speed.”

Oh Hell yes. This is the antidote to a world littered with CRVs and Outbacks and whatever all those GM SUVs are called now. This is Mad Max for the price of a trip with the fam to Disney 

...but it’s OK for Jalopnik to capitalize (again) on Walker’s death with this click-bait headline.

..and the C30!

Define “can’t go wrong”.

I am philosophically opposed to car companies charging more for certain colors. It shouldn’t cost an extra $400 to get an Alfa Romeo in red.
