Electric vehicles compared to normal

Well, I personally drive a luxurious truck. Have for years. Love it
Can make a 650 mile trip with no stops..

I have a good friend that has a Prius and Nissan Leaf, I’ve driven both and they’re pretty slick. For in and around town commuting, I’m a proponent of EV’s..

I see both sides of the coin though

It comes down to choice..
Inner city driving an electric car is prolly good.
Outback/rural Australia with charging stations few and far between not so good.

Everyone should be doing everything they can to lower their living costs.
Solar panels on the roof make sense..

What dont make sense is a country thinking it can run a base load power and compete in industry on renewable energy.

I have a hybrid car.. i like it. i really don't know what the price difference is in driving efficiency in fuel vs electric.. as it all fluctuates anyway but there is probably a blog or chart or youtube video about it somewhere

Don't want to be a kill joy Jess, EVs still cost you money. Electric cars still need to be charged up and that still costs money. Ok it maybe cheeper but the car is more expensive to buy. But a few more years time it will beore cost affective to run a EV.

someone near you is bound to own one...offer a compliment and im sure they would be happy to share their good\bad experiences

it’s been 3 years since i had my tesla and charging is still a pain in the ass. the supercharging stations always cost $20-30 per session, maybe more if it’s during a busy time. it takes about 20 minutes to charge up and sometime there’s a wait time if there’s it’s busy. after one year, i installed a home charging station and it really makes a difference. but that whole other 1k investment. it’s also not ideal for roadtrips because you have to plan out your stops based on the charging stations.

so....electricity is free? Upgrades to your homes electric service in order to accommodate chargers are free? Rolling blackouts because we do not have enough baseload generation to support the charging requirements of huge quantities of EVs and wind and solar is an absolute myth are free?

I'll be making smoke until I die.

Up front costs of an EV are steep. You're basically paying for Your fuel at the time of purchase.

Nothing comes for free! You still have the capital and running costs, and the latter includes the electricity.

I like the tried and true I don't like figuring out new sh!t.
