That article looks like they are trolling for dollars!  They really don't have a chance at competing at this point in the US.  If the Ford F150 Lightning aligns with the marketing, they will be a huge success.  I have only bought one pickup in my 38 years of driving, and it was a $250 beater

Re: [EVDL] Chevy Bolt 2020 50 mile Range Drop in One Year

My 2014 Chevy Volt pulls almost 6kW initially in comfort mode when you turn on the heat.  It will ramp back to about 3kW if you keep the heat cranked up (which I do on cold days)  This takes a big hit on my range since the usable pack is only about 11kW anyhow and I have a 21 mile commute that

Re: [EVDL] $7.5bn for ev charging stations across the US

In Ohio they classify the Chevy Volt as an EV which means I have to pay an extra $200 every year to update my registration.  If I drive on gasoline only I would have to go 25,000 miles to equate to the $200 extra fee.  They are definitely penalizing the EV driver! On Saturday, February 12,

Re: [EVDL] Tesla’s Sneaky Rolling Stops

The most logical response so far!  I never do a complete stop if there is no obvious approach of other vehicles, especially in a low MPH stop location.  I guess this is called human based AI for intersections!  I would also like to add that I've driven Tesla's and I'm not that impressed with

Re: [EVDL] EV charging is changing

My 2014 Volt only has 46 miles of range.  I drive 21 miles to work and charge there at Chargepoint for 10 cents per kWhr.  I have 240Vac at home and charge there as well.  98% of my travel is electric.  I take some work trips that are less than 500 miles and then use gas.  I guess it's more of
