Tax payers need to insure these WONDERFUL autos!
I didn’t know that EVs actually had more mechanical problems than ICE vehicles....or is it some other problem with them?? Price is a huge problem. Being able to buy a good used EV would be a huge risk. They just have too many inherent problems in normal operation, mostly because they are so limited by being battery powered.
In China there are fields full of unsold new EVs even as the government controlled factories pump out new updated models that are also not selling.
I'll walk before I drive an EV.
Oversized electric golf cart fanbois not amused at this.
Our son recently leased an EV, but his older home lacks the electrical service to have a level 2 charger. Everyday on his way to work he spends 20+ minutes at a public charger to top off the battery and has a charger at work. Going to his wife’s family cabin in northern Minnesota requires meticulous planning to go from charger to charger. He has to drive 20+ miles from the cabin to an Indian casino for charging while he is there. So far it’s been an usually warm winter in Minnesota, but days of below zero temperatures are still likely. It will be interesting to see how that works out. So far he hasn’t had the situation where the nearest charger is inoperative or there is a line of vehicles waiting to charge, but that could easily happen. My wife swears she will lease an EV when the lease on her hybrid runs out this spring. I have advised her to get the shortest lease possible as her Pollyanna dreams of driving an EV could become a nightmare.
