You found a house in Marin or Sonoma? Hat tip.

Head to Wisconsin for markup-free EV6s and Ioniq5s.

16.5" wheels? Have fun finding tires.

4th: 1.5x more expensive to build an EV over a gasoline equivalent? Show your math, my friend.

1st gear: What about reduced outward visibility? Roof pillars have gotten thicker (because of rollover standards). Hoods have gotten higher (because of pedestrian crash standards and the bro culture). Beltlines are higher. Rear decks are higher. Sure, cameras are now mandatory, but does anyone track accidents caused

This.

Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is nothing short of awesome. 

So you are saying LS swap the drivetrain and re-do the interior. Winning!

That’s the plan (of some), once you’ve had a chance to buy the stock of the private companies of course.

Our mailvans drive 21 mile average daily route at 14 average mph with 500 stops. This is screaming out to be electric.

True (my father-in-law runs a local suburban post office). However, the needed infrastructure upgrades are not as severe as claimed (source: I have been working on EVs - specifically charging infrastructure - for 12+ years.) The USPS mail vans are like school buses - with known routes and travel patterns, lower power

EPA just rated the Grand Cherokee 4xe at 26 miles.

Yup. A “buyer” must negotiate with the dealer finance person to get as much of the $7500 tax credit that the leasing company captures.

How much of this is brand-specific? How much is timing (pandemic)? How much is location-specific? We got a Niro EV several years ago from a great Kia dealer in northwestern coastal California. After looking across the U.S., we just bought a Highlander Hybrid from a Sacramento dealer for sticker price with no add-ons.

Yeah, especially that the manual transmission option is gone.

Yup, even if there switched over 90% of their 200,000 fleet to the smallest BrightDrop or Ford eTransit (or Rivian EDV) they would be far ahead. And the cost for charging may not be as high as some claims may be. These vehicles sit overnight; low power Level 2 or power sharing would work great.

IMO, it comes down to which you prefer. Both are surprisingly quick, luxurious, and can haul a lot of people (6 or 7 seats) and stuff.

Yup. It’s too bad. I really liked the G35 coupe and G37 couple with the six speed manual, but that was years ago.

Yeah, and you’d need hook the T90 to a D18 transfer case to add the Warn overdrive to.
