It’s a steel cage shaped like an egg. It’s tiny, but damn near invincible.

According to the Energy.gov website, cradle to grave carbon emission for BEV’s are half as much as the same ICE vehicle using the average US grid for charging. The carbon savings go up to about 90% with a renewable focused electricity sources.

Would probably feel safer than in a Ford Ranger of the same era, size does not equal safety

‘Feeling safe’ and ‘death trap’ are two different things. I would also feeling nervous getting crushed by a big car, but crash data shows it’s safer than it looks.

Dodge and Chrysler dominating this conversation with force, eh?

The value of the the ForTwo was its size, which made it super easy the maneuver and park in places other cars wouldn’t fit. Granted it was just unnecessary in North America. You also didn’t get the diesel engine which made it a lot more economical to run.

because when 600hp V8s can get almost 500 mile range, it certainly feels like a step back.

Those pesky Jeep GC’s are deadly too. We are really fucked with the Grand Wagoneer starts showing up on the roads. Jeep has the GC’s at 6,500 lbs for pre-2022 models and 2022 3-row models and 6,050 lbs. for the new 2022 2-row models.

Potentially putting thousands, if not millions, of four- and five-thousand-plus pound vehicles on the road could have serious consequences in car accidents.

Even though I’m typical not one for more taxes, once you get above a certain HP, that become a luxury. If a business needs more power to tow something, that’s also something that should be taxes because more stress is being put on the infrastructure.

I sure hope this hummer too goes the way of the old hummer.

9000 fucking pounds? Jesus Christ we can’t even do EVs right. Every day I’m more and more convinced that we flew too close to the sun a long time ago but convinced ourselves that the horrible burns were a nice tan. Fuck it all, no engines over 200 hp without paying for a more comprehensive license and any vehicle over…

One ad, titled “Mom,” shows a driver talking with his mother on the phone for nearly an hour with plenty of battery life left in his Bolt.

It just looks like a boring car to me. I agree that giving it a facelift would have been nice, if for no other reason than to get a little distance from their four-wheeled Molotov cocktails.

Wow.  Chill out. This is a car blog, not the New York Times.

I will keep beating the drum that a small cheap hybrid van would be great to have on the market (which is perfect, because Ford’s small cheap van is coming due for replacement). That said, there’s room in the Maverick for electrification, most likely (either PHEV borrowing Escape stuff, or full EV, like a…

Three words: windfall profits tax. And rebate the money to drivers.

ugh you’re right. i am better than this

Thanks for this. Why is CAFE mpg so much higher than EPA mpg? Also, what’s on the window sticker - EPA mpg?
