Without a doubt it’s the Chevy Bolt. You can get it for under $20k with the tax credit. It’s a great ride and mine has been dead reliable.

They already have.

The Cavalier was a good car and extremely reliable. Don't make me fight someone over it

I really don't get why Americans don't embrace Buick more. The LaCrosse was a handsome ride. I drove a '98 LeSabre when I was in college. It was am excellent car. They deserve more marketshare 

Good! Dandelions are beautiful flowers with many uses and they are important food sources for pollinators 

If you’re thinking electric, consider Greenworks. Their rider has removable batteries so you wouldn’t need to run a line to the shed. It also means you can just buy more batteries if your charge isn’t quite enough for the yard

I thunk the Volt was always the better name and was too popular to kill off for the Bolt so they just decided to go for it since they were never going to sell either in huge quantities since they took a loss on them

Is this the same 10-speed that they co developed with GM? It always got good initial reviews, I wonder if GM is having problems with it too

That’s the boat I’m in. I refuse to buy a Tesla because of Musk. I ended up going with a Chevy Bolt and will probably get an Equinox EV when they’re available

Yeah but the BMW is ugly as sin

Mach E uses resistive heater instead of a heat pump so if you have a 200 mile round trip and it's winter, that won't work. Maybe when the Ioniq 5 comes down in price

Pre face-lift Chevy Bolt

Honda Fit and Chevy Bolt

I mean that’s just basic international relations. We had right wingers boycotting France when they wouldn’t support the Iraq war. People turn on allies all the time.

Have you seen some of our allies? Saudi Arabia doesn’t exactly want to make the world a better place either. That has nothing to do with it.

You’d think we would have learned our lessons from the cold war. Anti communist hysteria was stupid back then and anti Chinese hysteria is stupid now. Why the hell should we turn down good jobs and cheap batteries because the Chinese also make that style of battery? I just don’t understand the level of xenophobia.

The data is out for early Tesla/Chevy Volt/Nissan Leaf. The air cooled leaf shits out in 10 years. However, thermally managed batteries should routinely go 15 (though some won’t to be sure).

The Chevy Bolt has entered the chat

Fwiw it’s really only the air cooled batteries that shit out at 10 years. The early Tesla and Chevy Volt batteries with liquid thermal management seem to go about 15 years

The PlugShare app alleviates 99% of those concerns tbf
