Charging electric vehicles costs money? Nobody has said that before now.
The article is simplistic. Charging at a Supercharger for example is. 40 kw vs. 16 at home.
It is surprising though to see so much fake news and misinformation in the comments, just repeating Tesla hating bull.
Millions of Teslas on the road. The odds of your ICE cars gas tank catching fire are much greater than a Tesla catching fire. As far as repairs and maintenance costs, the current models are nearly maintenance free. No oil change, no transmission, brakes last almost forever, on and on. Yes, repairs are more expensive when needed especially body work. Battery is guaranteed 10 years, some have been on the road 300K miles.
Insurance is more expensive, true and will be unless Tesla gets cost of collision repair down
As Trump says, people should have a choice with no EV mandates. Open minded people look at all alternatives for themselves. No surprise that the Model Y is the best selling passenger vehicle of any kind in the world.
Tesla destroys the environment a lot more (just being produced) than the Camry will during its entire lifetime.
How many thousands to install the charging equipment for the Tesla golf cart?
I was doing 30,000 plus miles per year.
Could not afford to buy an electric vehicle.
The warranty was something like 7 years or 100,000 miles.
But at 30,000 plus, the warranty would only last 2.5 years.
Given the massive battery replace by cost, that was a non starter
The cost of a gas car has risen to be very high as they subsidize the electric cars that still cost the car makers extra billions to make. Ford has lost over $12 billion and more billions in the coming year.
4 gallons of gas has more energy then the Ford electric F-150 entire battery pack. You can fill the entire tank in 5 minutes and be on your way. Electric takes much much longer and that energy is coming from a coal or nuclear or natural gas plant.
If the gas vehicle is damaged it is not written off but can be repaired. If the electric vehicle is damaged it is written off for even minor collisions as the batteries are compromised and can rapidly ignite later while driving or just parked in your garage and the smoke is very toxic then re-ignite later at the junk yard. No resale value either as the battery costs are higher then buying a new gas car not counting the subsidized electric cost.
The democrats go after electric vehicle that is suppose to help the environment shows how stupid they are. You drag a $10 billion thru the DNC and you get paid protestors.
The Tesla is not just a “car”. It is a transportation “system of systems” and is incredible!
There is no place around me to even charge them.
Can’t have a charger in an apartment complex.
And fortunately I only drive about 5 to 7 miles a day.
I fill up once a month.
