Do you live in a cardboard box without electricity?  How do you use less than 500?  My old house in Houston in the summer would push 3000kwh a month easy.

Cost to buy and drive for 10 years:

EV’s already make sense from a price perspective.  It’s just that people automatically rule out vehicles like the Leaf and Bolt because they are econoboxes and they don’t actually care just about price anyways.

I averaged .26 kWh/mi today in a Model 3. That’s 26kWh for 100 miles. I buy my kWh for $.11 at home, so that’s $2.86 for 100 miles. Gas is $3.25/gallon here soooo..

“the opportunity cost of waiting for vehicles to charge at stations”

go fuck yourself with your bullshit numbers.

but, it’s not like EV manufacturers and electricity vendors are going to let us just keep that gas money. even if EV cars are still cheaper to fuel right now, that won’t last long at all.

Is this Facebook where grandpa is spouting whatever BS some random Fox News talking head told him to think? JFC I expect a bit more from a site dealing with cars. 

You are part of the problem.

This is an anti EV thing that AEG’s been pushing for years, even Jalopnik’s sister site has an article debunking this https://cleantechnica.com/2021/10/26/about-that-scary-evs-cost-more-to-fuel-study-not/.

Uh, what? This smells like bullshit to me.

My Chevy Bolt uses about 29Kwh to drive 100 miles.
I pay .25 per Kw to charge at home. That’s $7.25 for 100 miles.

My gas car gets about 22 mpg combined, for 100 miles that’s 4.5 gallons @ $4/gal = $18 in regular gas for 100 miles.

Pretty myopic view they have.

“You will own nothing, and you will be happy”. WEF would love to destroy our standard of living, but this scarcity mentality is not based in reality, but on the desire of the powerful for more power and control. I highly recommending reading Michael Shellenberger, a sane environmentalist, who advocates a balanced…

Right as people started to accept that they had graduated to the big boys and were competitive/good the USB car theft thing cropped up. That stain won’t quickly go away. 

I’ve gotten rental Hyundais and Kias, and I gotta say that I haven’t really been impressed? I feel like they are on-par with Nissan, but below Honda and Toyota

Hyundai Theta engine has entered the chat...

It’s hard to fathom what the folks at Hyundai/Kia were thinking. But their complete lack of hustle on fixing the problem once its scope became blatantly obvious, as well as the rather lackluster reaction to their engine issues, makes me wonder about whether their attractive-looking EVs are really something I want to…

100%. Recently bought an EV... Love the look/specs of all their EVs but didn’t step foot on a lot because I can’t trust them.

It’s sad, because I was really looking forward to the Ioniq 6 as a next car. And certainly it wouldn’t be subject to this exact vulnerability.

But if Hyundai can’t be bothered to get off of their asses to keep their customers’ cars from being stolen, it’s hard to believe for even half a second that they wouldn’t be…

When a car just needs a simple, easy repair to make it perfect, but the seller can’t be bothered to do it.

Show and tell. If your listings have lots of pictures and details, if you’re open about the history, and knowledgeable about features, pros, and cons, I’m interested.

For me, the amount of stuff you can show/tell me beforehand is directly proportional to the distance I’m willing to go to make the deal. Which is why my…

For me, cars sold by mechanics.
