>cheaper new than any combustion vehicle, even used ones>no transmission, no oil change, no break change, no engine problems>faster than any sports car>70%-100% discount on fuel>quiet, not smelly and good for the environmentwhy haven't you got an ev yet?
>>28916269At least it has normal sized tires
>>28916269>no transmission, no oil change, no break change, no engine problemsbut they have transmissions, they have oil/grease, they have brakes (that DO need servicing), and they don't have an engine they have a motor
>>28916279breaking is mostly done through regenerative breaking. they don't need an oil change. it turns out yes they have a single gear transmission that spins in either direction but it can last much longer without changes
>>28916269I don't have an EV because my only dealerships are domestic and Hyundai for some reason and none of them make a desirable EV. I bought a Model S Performance several years ago and then though it didn't need much servicing, when it need it always needed to go to the Tesla place which is over an hour away so I got rid of it. It does suck too because it was a good car and I would actually really like a new Model 3 performance even though it would be slower than my old S, and no other auto maker is making comparable cars.
>>28916269>why haven't you got an ev yet?I'm not gay.
>>28916269Low range and top speed, long recharge time
>>28916269While yes OP those are big pros:>short range, only really suited for commuting>Long charge times>mass adoption would strain power grids that already are having brownouts>Replacing the battery effectively totals the car (may change in the long term)>Rely on precious metals to produce>a car that cheap and small means you may as well be riding in a phone booth>makes more power and torque than an ICE vehicle but handles much worse due to massively increased weight and effectively zero driver feedbackYeah like, maybe Id have one as a beater for parts runs or commuting to work but a budget EV just seems unsatisfying at best and miserable at worst.
>>28916269>70%-100% discount on fuelIf you can charge at home it's more like a 10-20% discount on fuel. If you can't, you end up paying 30-40% more per mile than a comparable ICE vehicle.
>>28916269>no oil changeIts a 15 minute cheap fucking job you can do with extremely basic tools. How is this meant to be a selling point?
>>28916421assuming the following:$4 gas, 15 cents/kWh home charging, 40 cents/kWh fast chargingPrius = 7 cents a mile in gasBMW 330i = 12 cents a mileModel 3 at home = 3.5 cents a mileModel 3 fast charge = 10 cents a mileSo a Prius is cheaper than exclusively fast charging, but not a "comparable" car.
>>28916510Jailbreaking your tessie disables fast charging dumbass
>Hey guy, what if we took a dangerous activity (driving) and then added the risk of being consumed in an unstoppable battery fire if you're in wreck? >and as a bonus it comes with a dozen ways to sell your data without your express written consent.
>>28916269>any combustion vehicleORLY?
>>28916269No thanks. Uses the A/C to cool the batteries. Death trap waiting to cook off.https://youtu.be/GaLZxU7-hjI?si=BkvvFBEjIj2qD_yT
>>28916269Because its fucking gayOnions of carsFor every ev I see I will be upping displacement of my next car by 100
Seagull isn't sold here. We get the Dolphin Surf for triple the price.
>>28916269Discount on fuel
>>28916269>cheaper than that little hatchback, $7-9k range>dependable, port-injected n/a ICE motor built by Mitsubishi, used in everything from the Colt/Lancer/Mirage>5 speed manual transmission>not dependent on electronics, can't be geofenced like an EV, can't be hacked like an EV, won't spontaneously combust like an EVwhy haven't you bought an ICE car yet, OP?
>>28916559>Buys 4 seater - complains it has 4 seats>Has a small battery - complains it lacks range>Complains about public chargers and the charging network in Australis is terrible - blames it on the car>Says it's designed as a small city car - complains that it's not suitable for long drives in the outback.>Does 0-100 in 8.0 - not fast enoughThat's like 2/3rd of the video.
>>28916771that'sa geely GX3?personally waiting for them to drop the coolray in france, otherwise i'll go with a jaecoo
>>28916269>why haven't you got an ev yet?100% because of people like you. >>28916284Leased ICE vehicles don't need oil changes either...
>>28916279ThisI will never understand why EVs fags believe just by not having an ICE somehow constitutes a car being indestructible despite being pigfat land yachts that still destroys the environment
>>28916269Its a more fun way to MAID by immolation
>>28916771Can't refuel an ICE at home. At least not without expanding the solar panels and constructing a lot of other infrastructure..
