Your second point is why the structure of the current $7500 rebate with each OEM capped at 200K EVs is being debated in DC right now. Alternate proposals include a fixed end date and no OEM limits.

EPA just released range figures today for the medium battery - ~314 miles.

Also, starting January 1, 2020 the European stick got very big. Car companies who didn’t want to pay huge carbon-related fines, had to start offering plug-ins. 

Dad had a similar version: Custom trim, front bench, no carpet, midnight blue inside-and-out. The 300 six is a great motor, but ours had the optional 5.0 V8 (that absorbed many paychecks of teenage me to fill with gas). Hauled the family to the off-the-grid family cabin. Towed a small utility trailer. Was the…

True. The U.S. income tax system is broken. A CEO pays a less effective tax rate than someone working the front desk or loading dock. Also, real work is taxed at a higher rate than investments. Both of those are broken and tough to fix.

Nice car with great specs. I dig on the styling, although it’s probably not for everyone. And hello, 5 second 0-60.

You may want to add an * next to “Big” in the headline. Word around the campfire is that this and its platformmate, the Toyota “@!#?@!”, are about the size of a RAV4. We shall see. 

We had a surplus USFS 4x4 full-size crew cab growing up. Two vinyl bench seats. Short bed. It did everything for our family of five. Home remodel. Dump runs. Trips to the cabin (pavement plus five miles on dirt/gravel/clay road with one water crossing). Got firewood from fallen trees in the mountains. Got Christmas…

The base Camaro was pretty much useless already. The back seat will fit only toddlers or double amputees, the trunk opening is so small it causes suitcases to develop claustrophobia, and because the car was designed by a committee of 8 year olds, the roofline makes visibility nonexistent. I’m 6' 4" and the rear view…

It just has the outward visibility of an Army tank.

Sounds like the Consumer Reports’ take on it.

But hey, at least the beltlines were high so you couldn’t see out of them.

Does it come with a bumper sticker for its German customers: Ein Ticket für die U-Boot-Rennen.

Here’s a short list of hypotheticals: Charger heads get dropped. Salt air is rough on the pins. Cords get run over. UV light damages cords. People accidentally hit the stations. You might be wondering about maintenance.

Last mile delivery is such a Captain Obvious use case to electrify.

3rd: The Bloomberg headline says it all: “Japan Doesn’t Have Enough Electric Cars for Its EV Chargers.” Not enough cars. The Japanese OEMs aren’t known for their enthusiasm for cars that plug in. Nissan even seems to have squandered its early lead with LEAF.

Yeah, on the base trim (LS), one can order the front row bench on the Suburban and Tahoe.

Yeah, the 4xe takes all the awesomeness of the regular Wrangler and adds the instant torque and smooth, quick acceleration of an electric motor. Added bonus: you can “fuel” with a good 12oV outlet. What’s not to love?

Nice. The dreaded rear view mirror blind spot sucks.
