  • I own a hybrid. Between knowing batteries, electronics, evs and vehicles, I’m more informed and knowledgeable than most people on here. EVs are only great if you own a garaged house, want to take large losses on resale, and keep newer vehicles. A lot of people do fit in that category, but for everyone else they’re still a poor idea for now. They’re fine if you only keep vehicles under a warranty and trade them in. They aren’t a “thrifty” option.


  • All you need is a house and a garage and room to keep your evs in there and an ev with a range big enough to handle all your travel needs or you’ll still gave to own a 2nd vehicle that uses gas and then if you want to keep your ev past 100k miles just be sure to keep an extra $20,000 lying around for when the battery needs replaced.

    But yeah, you can always leave home with a full tank. Of course, filling it to 100% also degrades the batteries faster. But don’t worry. Your warranty will kick in once you lose about 1/3 of capacity. Sure ducks if your 300 mile range vehicle (when the weather is right) can only go 220 miles, but that isn’t quite bad enough for warranty coverage.















  • Back when even cable TV was only like 30 channels and there was no internet, if something big went down that was cool, everyone tuned it or had to miss out. I remember a documentary special on the Discovery Channel (it used to only be about animals and the planet) that I think damn near every kid in my school watched, and it wasn’t even shark week.
