There are a ton of advantages of EVs over IC cars for every day.
1) Instant response time
2) Safer
3) Lower maintenance
4) Cheaper to fuel, yes even with gas taxes added on
5) Once economies of scale hit in, EVs will be cheaper upfront than IC
6) Larger interiors due to no engine and simpler drivetrain (Tesla Model 3 is a…

Well, more metal simply means everyone on the road is less safe. Sure, you are safer if your car is heavier (there are other factors but weight is one of them), but if everyone is raising the weight of their cars as a whole, then end result is everyone is less safe.
The general informed opinion is: grab your popcorn and enjoy the show.
The whole Trump lowering of the fuel economy standards was nothing more than a election political move to appease his voters so he can claim he shoved it to CA. Even if it went to court and he lost, he can double down and claim liberal activist judges.
Justin, I have received word that you have receive candy in the form of gifts and have not filed taxes on their retail value. I hope you are ready to flee your country for your tax theft that amounts to 24 cents.
That is why many of these aim for 3 wheel cars and pass them off as motorcycles.
“Thank you for admitting you were wrong on that point. And I believe the Volt is being redesigned, not outright discontinued.”
You don’t need to ask some rando, you generally ask at your destination like a restaurant or the like. The only time you would ask a random person is if you are really desperate but other than that, unnecessary.
I understand just fine, Toyota wanted the prime to be cheaper than the non-prime after tax credit so they could collect zev credits. It wasn’t a serious entry. The RAV4 Prime is a different story.
LA is converting streetlights to LED and extra power for the street lights is being set up into EV chargers.
You can, you simply have to ask. Most wont mind.
Not when trying to compare battery sizes to efficiency. The volt uses a less efficient type of motor than the Prime.
You can go to multiple destinations, though do you plan to go back immediately or stay the day there?
Uhm, 50-100 miles is almost half, so any electric car with over 200 miles can do both ways. Top electric car out now is 373 miles. So 186.5 miles one way even if there is no charging. (and by time this car is out, 2nd half of 2020, I’m sure there will be EVs with over 400 miles range.)
Considering he is gonna dish out all the things Japan did to him without them censoring him next week, I doubt.
Well they aren’t in his house right? So he probably bribed a few people to get him out and left by sea.
The thing is, an EV with battery made in US, the break even on manufacturing is only 1 year, even with a large battery. With that sort of break even, its not an issue. Carrying a large battery is also less of a problem because an EV made from scratch weights a lot less.
Yes quite. To save on costs they probably took 2 toyota rav4 prime packs to get that range but ran out of space to put more.
Most trips above 50 miles are well within the range of plenty of electric cars.
City car concept might work if you sell cars for 5k. At 30k, people might think twice.
