re: Would You Drive This? The most affordable long range EV sold in the US

We'll probably buy an EV as a second vehicle in the next 2 years. I probably wouldn't have one as our only vehicle, but I could see just renting a gas vehicle for long trips.

Sorry Texas. If you have this car (or the new Mustang Mach E, Tesla Model 3, or Cybertruck), you can't charge at home now because you guys don't know how to provide electricity in cold weather.
This is an ignorant statement. You can just plug in to the green energy charging stations that don't rely on fossil fuels. Texas has no power because they rely on fossil fuels.
Educate yourself.

Now do California and their rolling blackouts
I bet the electricity works in San Diego or San Francisco.

People act like electric will save them money
EV's are a joke as far as that's concerned.
The costs have to come from somewhere.

This is ignorant. Green energy is renewable, therefore free.

Their solar and wind infrastructure is frozen...along with their natural gas caps. It’s a fail on many levels.
It’s a particularly embarrassing fail for wind and solar.

Ignorant. This is just the lies Faux News is spreading.

Why? I saw a video of a fossil fuel powered helicopter spraying fossil fuel based chemicals on the wind turbines.
Must be awkward to admit eh?

It can charge from 0 to full in about 8 hours at home, and go about 259 miles on a charge (250 if you get the slightly larger version).
So 1/2 as far as my truck on a tank of gas that takes maybe 10 minutes to fill up. 25 minutes if I am at Bucees.
So on a trip to elk camp I could go 259 miles, charge for 8 hours and go another 259 miles. That would make my elk camp approximately 5 days away each direction. Frick that.

I have a solution for Texas.
Nukes. We’ve been using nuclear energy for 50 years. It works so long as you don’t build on the coast and bury the pump generators where they can flood.

Admit what?
That only idiots think that wind or solar is appropriate for base load generation? I’ve been beating that drum for years. If you want electric cars, you better be okay with nuclear power stations or natural gas power plants.

Less of a joke than Texas’s electrical grid right now. Or California’s grid on a normal day.

Must suck to be on that hill alone eh? The rest of your comrades disagree with you. They hate nuclear and natural gas power. It’s “baaaaaaaaad”

They can hypermile to 300+ miles if you want to avoid A/C and drive slowly.
Nobody wants to do this. Try selling a car to an American that works best if it only goes 40 miles an hour and can’t use air conditioning.

Depends on where you live. It’s actually pretty high in California. Very low in Texas or Louisiana.

All cars use less energy if they only go 40mph with no a/c.

I can give you a mode of transportation that can get you anywhere in the continental US faster than walking with damn near zero carbon footprint (minus the shite)
We humans have utilized this method of transportation for thousands of years.
We call them horses.

Exactly but I'm pretty sure every gas car can go 300+ miles on a full tank without that. Technically they can all do it but it isn't a selling point to make it work like a gas car.
