Dear God, please let it be piano black interior trim.

I JFC with you, dude. Your car has been discontinued. A 30% tax credit is vastly different to your claim that manufacturers are paying for people’s complete EV charger install. Just enjoy your freebie, but accept that your experience is absolutely not the norm for EV ownership for the vast majority of people in this…

A used Audi allroad. Make sure it’s at least 15 years old. It has all wheel drive, it’s super reliable, and it’s also really easy to repair yourself.

Congratulations that the maker of your now discontinued car paid for your installation with a partnership with Qmerit. That is what is called an incentive. It is not something that any other manufacturer is offering, and now the Bolt is gone, GM isn’t even offering it anymore.

Assuming, this will be a trickle down effect with a cheaper GMC and an even cheaper Chevy version coming later? An electric Suburban sounds like a dream Uber to me. Super quiet, refined.

It’s not going to cost nearly that much. The writer did a stupid thing where they took the UK price and converted GBP to USD using Google, and not accounting for the fact cars are way more expensive there and the pound has been strengthening against the dollar all year). By their same GBP to USD logic, a full-size…

100% this. I call it “passive charging”. We have free L2 chargers at the gym and while I’m working out for 45 minutes, it easily covers the miles used driving to and from the gym.

It’s actually pretty complicated and people are very lazy. You have to find out if your home’s electrical panel is set up to handle an L2 charger, and then you have to buy the actual charger and ensure it’s compatible with your car, and you have to hire an electrician to install it all. And the $1,500 (cheapest I’ve…

100%. Model 3 drivers certainly behave like Prius drivers 😂 

But consumer behavior is not used to filling up their vehicle at home so charging at home will also not come naturally, especially when it’s at least $1,500 to install an L2 charger.

Prius sales figures have been declining for a decade. Maybe the cooler all-new one will change that but it remains to be seen.

There are a lot of factors at play. I have an EV and an ICE gas-guzzling SUV so I see both sides of the coin.

Totally get it. Rivians are really nice, and a genuine alternative to luxury SUVs from legacy automakers. We’re debating trading our full-size 2019 Range Rover in for an R1S (had itfrom new, absolutely love it, and has been very reliable). The R1S has a Land Rover feeling about it, just not sure if we’re ready for 2…

And nor does Rivian need to. They have a huge wait list for the R1S SUV. Something Lucid could only dream of.

Since you didn’t say anything about maintenance costs...

I love the Porsche 911, Land Rover Defender, Jeep Wrangler, FIAT 500 - all good retro designs, but one of the coolest cars right now is the upcoming retro-modern Renault 5 which is going to be reincarnated as a cool little EV hatchback, a welcome breath of fresh air from the malaise of compact SUVs all over Europe. I…

California leads the way with technology and innovation in the US, and as the largest single car market in the country, EVs continue to dominate new car sales here in CA, which bucks the trend of media coverage claiming that “EVs are sitting on dealer lots”. Nationwide EV adoption is a matter of when, not if. What’s…

Yes it might, but it will save me.

Mazda needs to stop fooling themselves and going after the luxury market. They are Acura, Infiniti, or high-end Toyota at best. They are not going to persuade moms out of an Audi Q7, a Mercedes GLS, or a BMW X7. And the people that say they cross shopped a CX9 with those cars are lying to make themselves feel better.…

The beautiful, reliable Honda Crossroad.
