Elon Musk promised us a $30k Tesla. He didn't deliver one. Anyone who thinks a $40k car is affordable is clearly not in my socio- economic class. Teslas are cars for your class, not mine. I've never paid that much for a new car and (adjusting for inflation) don't ever intend to. Heck,

[EVDL] Long Range EVs, hybrids trade offs $18k (Corona Discount)

2020-07-10 Thread Mark Hanson via EV
Hi Folks I’m trying to decide (with the Corona discount), a trip car like the Prius Prime vs Chevy Bolt (both about $18k, low miles 1-2 years old). On the one hand, the 50Mpg Prime is a no brainer, but with the complexity/service of ICE. What is the cost per KWH to charge at a fast charger?

Yeah sounds like a year old Chevy Bolt or Prius Prime makes the most sense. As Consumer Reports noted in last months issue, used EVs are the most cost effective way to go, typically 30-50% in the first year or two ). Teslas are like Harleys, paying for the name and don’t drop much. The other

Well, the "average" price of a new ICE is right around $40k, so there are 4 long range EVS that cost less than average price, and two of them still qualify for the $7500 tax credit. With COVID and cheap gas, many places are offering hefty discounts on EVs. As I said earlier, some places are
