You can argue about tax incentive and government mandates until you're blue in the face... and you have. I don't agree with any of them and I still think that for MOST people who can charge at home the EV experience is superior to an ICE vehicle. Like someone said in another post about the right tool for the right job. An EV IMO is the perfect everyday commuting vehicle. When we are home in FL I pretty much never take the Cayenne out because the overall experience with the model 3 is so much better. Oh but those condo people and the people who travel cross country every other week... oh what shall they do... don't buy an EV. Like all the people who don't buy an F350 dually because they have nothing to tow. Or the people who don't own a car at all because they live in a big city and driving is a pain and there's nowhere to park etc. |

I would get rid of my commuter and my G82. No reason to keep both cars when I have one that I can charge for a few dollars.
My main dig is my $600-$700 a month fuel bill. I spent $744.08 last month. That's a whole nother car payment. I could do a Plaid for $1,600-$1,800, get rid of my G82, that's $1,635, and my Accord Touring, that's $560. $700 in gas, and $260 a month in insurance. A Plaid would still be cheaper. $2,100 a month with charging and insurance is better than $3,155.

Well, just in case you're new to the thread it seems that governments all over the place are going to ban the sale of ICE vehicles in the next few years.

I was just responding to the idea that no one is buying EVs if it wasn't for the incentives. I just stated I bought one with no incentives just because I think it's a better product. So have many people given the fact that Tesla hasn't had any tax rebates for a while up until this year and yet they were setting sales records all the time. And even though I think it's superior to ICE for a LOT of people... I don't think it should be mandated and I don't think it will. |

But again, the early 2000's era EV tax incentives were sunset at the end of GFY 2020 until the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act reestablished the incentives. When you bought your Tesla it was during the time Tesla long ran out of slots, or you bought your EV used. The current law now allows a 1-time secondary tax credit for buying used EV. That was never in the original incentives program. So, sorry, there are incentives in place now to buy EV. If EV was that great of a product incentives to purchase them would not be necessary as same for the planned ICE ban in 2035. Last edited by Efthreeoh; 05-31-2023 at 06:04 AM.. |

As an ex-ev hater I think the reason they don't sell more is because of false range anxiety fears and political/social stigma associated with them. My guess is if anyone who is a candidate for an EV (has a home with garage or somewhere to charge it) was given an EV to use for a few weeks... I think the majority of them would be converts. |

Yes they do. The discussion above was that $2000 in maintenance on a Camry was called “utter nonsense”. It’s not. 60,000 miles in an ICE vehicle can incur significant maintenance cost. My experience is that electrics are less due to less fluid reservoirs in general. The tires are generally more, but not always.
It was just a discussion point. Shawn |
