I’m for every metro area to own electric only. They want it, they got it. More good cars for the rest of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWarning Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 Just now, WVU said: It’s not though. At least not here in the South Metro areas are better set up, no doubt. I’m thinking of a Labor Day weekend trip from Chicago to Traverse City. It may take 8+ hours to make it home because the expressway is backed up for the last 100 miles. What happens then?

mikeman Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 5 cents/mile is what you save currently by driving an EV, so over 100K miles you'll save $5K, they cost $15-20-30,000 more than a gas car, considering the tremendous downsides to EV's there is NO logical argument to be made for their widespread adoption.

No more $2k cars that you can fix up and get running. How many people will get stuck buying an EV with dead or nearly dead batteries?

I’ve explained this to WVU and all the junkyards we’re going to have for these things due to that. All perfectly fine to him as long as one isn’t built near his house. Then there’s the people driving gas cars that make 30k a year that can’t afford a new car period, much less and EV, and old EV’s are useless. Adapt of die he says. What a great person.
