Welcome to EVs. I traded my Corolla Hybrid for a Chevy Silverado and my insurance when down $25 a month even though the truck cost nearly three times as much.

At best, hybrids is the way to go. You can encase the batteries better and allow more space.

Sounds like a good deal. Think of the Virtue Grandstanding he can do after it is replaced.

With all the issues with EVs I can’t imagine anyone in their right mind wanting to buy one.

Gas powered cars will be banned and electric cars won’t work.

All part of the “15 Minute City” agenda to force everyone on to mass transit and to forego transportation independence.

This was some thing I never considered in purchasing an EV.

All you have to do is run over debris in a road and the car could be written off as a total loss.

Simply impacting the battery guard could then render the car in operable due to fear of fire or explosion.

You could run over tire debris or a ladder in the road and your car is done

to see how much of the cost he could claim under his policy. ..

WHo does he think he is, Larry Silverstein or something?

When it comes to EVs, much like covid shots only suckers volunteered to get one.

It’s a Hyundai Ioniq 5 SUV—don’t take EVs off-road or you’ll be sorry, well, among other reasons. I’ll bet that thing doesn’t have the skid plate my F-150 has. He’s lucky he wasn’t stranded or burned up where the battery damage happened.

Be assured, everyone’s insurance will rise to subsidize EV owners insurance claims!

Too bad he’s so far away, he could have dumped it on Trudeau’s lawn

EVs are for fags. Don’t be a fag.

Sounds like a huge aftermarket EV skid-plate opportunity! 3/8 inch thick steel should do the job.

There’s no way the guy ran over something that scratched the bottom without seeing or hearing it. Also, I bet the battery can’t be protected well enough without adding too much weight.
