Interesting. I know dozens of scientists who are now former and a couple of meteorologists and they tell me that climate change is real and that we are the cause of it. I will go with the smart people I know for my knowledge.
kia/hyundai don't make pickup trucks. PU's are unique in demands for towing and hauling requiring which reduced efficiency and impacts range significantly. I understand and agree with their decision. My Lightning will meet my needs for at least the next 10 -15 years.
That is just not true. The government 'subsidizes' businesses all the time. Just look at the farmers. They subsidized High Efficiency HVAC products for many years. Hedging to slow the inevitable results of carbon based fuel is smart not risky.
I strongly believe Jim is short lived for his position.
No, an EREV is not an EV. ELECTRIC VEHICLE.
I didn't have my volt that long, but my experience with the volt and Volvo phev is that my use pattern is not good for phev. Great for EV (frequent short drives). I could go 6+months on a 13 gallon tank of gas with a 18 mile electric range phev. This really is not good for it. Then in the winter it would turn on daily for a couple minutes. Not long enough to really warm up the oil/cats, but long enough to allow for more condensation and fuel to get mixed into the oil. Used oil analysis showed 8+percent fuel dilution. The oil looked like a coffee (not black coffee) and smelled like gasoline. The battery also got quite a workout 6C power draw regularly (80 up on a 9.7kWh battery) and cycled from 90 percent to 18 percent regularly (absolute battery percent, not displayed percentages). The volt was better than the XC90 due to a bigger battery, but it still had an ice motor that was infrequently used. At the end of our first summer it had a lifetime mpg of 250+, which fell into the low 200s by the end of its first winter. It stayed at 250+ for its entire life after that. If going with a gasoline powered vehicle I would want it to be conventional, non-hybrid, but I would also probably drive it less than 500 miles per year. Even if I have to charge on the road I'd prefer the driving response of our EVs. I like our lightning, but if I have to replace it I will be looking for another EV that will tow at least 7k pounds (sailboat plus trailer weigh a bit over 6k) safely the 15 miles round trip to the lake and back home in spring/fall.
oh no problem, you'll
exactly. I'm 70 years old and cespite this announcement I still expect it to last me 15 years. Sparky will probably be the last vehicle I ever own.
you give dealer sales people wayyy too much credit.
) and 2. a new model would be much better with 4 wheel steering to improve the turning radius. I suppose a 3rd complaint is that it doesn't DC charge as fast as a Tesla ( I own a Model S too) so that 1600 mile trip takes a few hours longer than the Model S does. But I've learned to stop and smell the roses from time to time anyway.
