France figured it out:

Just to state the obvious in California: if the buyer is in California, the seller is required recent smog cert. Otherwise, it’s just for parts and good luck registering it at the CA DMV. If the buyer is out-of-state, no problem. No smog required.

That’s my point. Honda chose poorly.

The Renault Zoe and Model 3 are selling well in Europe. They face the same challenges.

I am optimistic about the future of plug-ins in the US - say by 2024 - but today, there are few to pick from. The Fusion Energi has been discontinued. The Explorer PHEV (though built in Chicago) is only available in Europe. The RAV4 Prime looks awesome, but is severely supply-constrained in the US (hello, dealer mark

A Borrego? How about a brand-new KIA KM450, nee Kaiser Jeep M715. Alas, it no longer has the 230 OHC Tornado.

I look at things a little differently. It seems we have a supply problem, i.e. does an EV option exist in the vehicle type that I like/want/need?

That’s awesome. Thank you. 

Yup, “electrified” can be everything from a mild hybrid to a PHEV to a BEV to a even a fuel cell. More to come, I guess.

Welcome. My neighbors in Switzerland had a Smart car that they took to IKEA and also (to go) white water rafting. One can do a lot with a Smart, but you already know that.

Okay, I’ll bite. I really like this, but what’s up with the upswept belt line. Do modern car designers hate glass and outward visibility? It’s not as bad as say the Toyota CH-R or others, but yikes...

It’s the daily driving range, not the size of the vehicle that matters. Delivery vans, school buses, garbage trucks are ripe for electrification. Heck, if it works in Paris (pictures from October 2019), it will work in Peoria:

Totally agree. Also, railroads s make this autonomous thing pretty easy.

Awesome find. Sounds like a great seller.

Welcome! Errr... welcome, year ago. :)

Came here to say the same.

That would be awesome.

What, was “Genesis Mandalorian” already taken? Think of the co-branding, especially with that cute little green guy.

No, I don’t. We have three kids under the age of seven and if I’ve learned anything - they are wildly unpredictable. I use my eyes and ears, with the cameras as one more data point.
