there are a few states that still have 7500 EV incentives.

I have zero worries about support. I frankly hate dealers and would never take a car to a dealer unless forced to. As long as they publish their specs, people out there will make parts.

not planning to add anything. I might add a tonneau cover, but with the frunk I might not need to.

within a year there will be used slates on the market. If the slate is 25K then used it will probably end up at 12-15K (based on depreciation of EVs) compare used slates to used other EVs

wanted to lease an equinox BEV before the fed incentive ended. According to the chevy website based on the dealers listed price and all my discounts I should have been able to get a 2 year, 10K mile lease with zero down for under 200/month. the dealer wouldnt honor that price, they wanted to...

I made too much to qualify for the tax credit so it never applied to me.

what is less and how much will it cost to get to parity? electric window addon will prob be about $100, an infotainment and speakers is prob $200. So mentally just add $300 and now compare against the maverick.

In motorcycles maybe the battery is easily accessible so you will just do a battery swap, not a charge. Still may not be enough range, so stick to gas.

this forum is social media..

to be fair that is because the govt started putting in CAFE standards requiring higher and higher gas mileage. Larger trucks were exempt.

Thats not how risk works. That is like saying power door locks and windows are not safe and shouldnt be used because sometimes they fail when a car gets immersed so the people die Risk calculations are constantly done and there is often an element of risk in everything You can eat...

i need a truck form factor (dont care about towing). Prefer a 5.5 ft bed. 5 ft is ok. Under about 73 inches wide under 200 inches long EV 4wd 4 door 2 rows of seats under 30K The new ford EV platform could be it.
