how does the term homeless blame the individual? its a description not an accusation

/s or no?  I hate the way we rename things to make it more palatable. 

The restroom thing gets brought up a lot to try and even out time spent but unless you’re having some serious stomach problems, it’s not even close. This, along with the “while you wait you can catch up on emails, go shopping, etc.” talking points get a bit silly. The point for a lot of people is to spend less time…

Isn’t it funny how others feel the need to question your travel requirements? Is it really any of their business? Like you, I’m not buying an EV until it can get to Detroit from where I am in NoMi on one charge like my ICE vehicles do, and it doesn’t matter how many times I want or need to do it. Not to mention how a…

And that’s even with all of the government subsidies BEVs have on offer. It turns out people value the convenience of 3-minute fill-ups, 500+ miles of range, a guaranteed second-hand market, and being able to fix their own cars or go to their local mechanic to do so.

Jalop has been pushing EV’s as hard as the rest of them. The commentariat as well, with what seems very few readers replying with “Hold up a minute” on EV’s. But even Jalopnik can’t ignore what’s happening with the market.

Listen to any financial guru you want to, whether that’s Suze Orman, Dave Ramsey, or Caleb Hammer, and they’re going to tell you that you shouldn’t spend more than 10 percent of your take-home on a car payment.

Normally, I’d agree. But it seems like this article is yet another anti-car hit piece from this supposedly driving orientated magazine. Why do you hate cars and driving so much, Jalopnik?

This is true, which is why it makes no sense to ban ICE cars at this point (apart from environmental signaling to score political points).

Especially for cross-country road trips. Electric cars are terrible for any driving over 200 to 300 miles. So, yes, EV’s will solve large city car/commuter problems, but they are not an absolute solution for all vehicles.

Superior technologies don’t need bans on their predecessors to succeed. On a number of levels, even beyond infrastructure, gasoline-powered cars are still better. Until BEVs can charge in the ~2 minutes it takes to fill up a gas tank, they will be at a competitive disadvantage, as everyone doesn’t live in buildings…

What you don’t say, and I think it’s pertinent data, is that this is only 3.1 inches longer than the original 2007 GMC Acadia.

This is the only correct answer.

I’d buy one because I think they are cool and it would make me happy.

Without a major revolution in battery technology, EVs will fail to gain mass approval unless it is the only option available.

I’m not against EVs. I have owned a PHEV, but can tell you that it was the hybrid aspect of it that made it practical. Most of my driving with that vehicle was around town. Even with its…

People have jobs, school, and limited vacation time. As enjoyable as a leisurely road trip can be, it isn’t always realistic. Sometimes getting from point A to B as quickly as possible is the only option.  

The one trend that needs to stop is the EV push based on battery technology that results in a use case that isn’t a 1:1 to an ICE equivalent vehicle. The heft, and relative slowness of charging a massive EV battery are counter to our expectations of a vehicle. In a best case scenario, an EV is a compromise of time…

As someone who is an industry analyst for a major OEM I would say that I highly doubt there will be an overall downsizing of vehicles in the foreseeable future. Americans have pretty much always wanted the largest vehicle they could afford, and there is little sign of that changing. If higher interest rates stick…

I don’t want my car just to commute to work. I want it to be able to easily, comfortably get me anywhere I want to go. I bought it for 100% of the time usage, including the outliers. So no. I don’t need to go that far every day, but I need to be able to whenever I need to, on a whim. And without renting an expensive…

Except you made a mention there... gas station.
