“My daughter and her husband have one and realize they can’t give it away.”
Regarding resale value, let’s say a 10-year EV needs a new battery for $14,000. Is it worth putting that much money into a 10 year old car?
People need to realize something...
Environmental policy isn’t about saving the planet any more than CoupFlu policy is about protecting public health.
What this is all really about is impovershing the middle class.
Understand that, and the actions of Deep States all over the globe make perfect sense.
This isn’t lunacy and/or abject stupidity.
It’s unadulterated evil.
I think they have made a good plan. Basically, he uses it “solely” to commute to work. He’s a lawyer and his office is about 2 miles away on typical city streets NOT expressways. For that, it does a good job, so far.
My daughter, largely because of the news articles I supply her via email, is scared to even get in it. So, he is forced to use it as his car and she uses the Lexus SUV.
Now, I’m working on her to make him put the “bomb” out in the street at night instead of in the garage under their bedroom
To your point about 10 years and $14,000.00. They figure if he can use it 6 years (all short trips) and the batteries don’t have to be replaced, they possibly could break even. That’s a stretch though and they know it. It was just a BIG mistake.
