This Is the Most Wanted Car in America (and It’s Not Even Close).

The EV tends to lose in drag races. They are too heavy.

EVs are fast.

ELECTRIC MUSTANG COBRA JET 1400 MAKES RECORD RUN IN NORWALK

Bob Tasca III set a new electric-vehicle drag racing record on June 26. In the morning, he piloted the Mustang Cobra Jet 1400 to a run of 8.26, 167 mph during an exhibition pass at the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals. Hours later, Tasca re-set the record with a stunning run of 8.12 at 171.97 mph. Tasca is also the driver of the Motorcraft/Quick Lane Mustang in NHRA Nitro Funny Car

EVs are fast.

If they're purpose built.

 

[RB 60]

If they're purpose built.

Electric motors provide instant torque and spin much faster than ICE's, But those electric motors need a lot of "juice." That means a strong battery.

But they just don't sound like a moderately cammed big block.

IOW, purpose built.

live for tomorrow sweetie, the world is changing.

Live for today. Tomorrow may never come.

Car is holding resale value very well.
Insurance is the same as other car.
11 months of ownership - no maintenance yet.
I bought an $12 dollar extension cord, it plugs into a regular outlet.

Don't you just miss all those oil changes and lube jobs?

 

[gfm7175]

Still discounting what you paid for the car or it's maintenance or it's insurance costs or the cost of installing the electrical system to charge your car, eh?

When one tosses aside most of the costs associated with EVs, EVs are pretty darn cheap!

Far better batteries are coming on the market. Get a clue!

Those "far better" batteries have found a way to supercede Li-ion chemistry?

 

[Nordberg]

Don't you just miss all those oil changes and lube jobs?

And muffler replacements and stolen catalytic converters.

yes, try google

 

[gfm7175]

yes, try google

Nah.

Please teach me how Li-ion chemistry is now (supposedly) obsolete/inapplicable... After all, YOU have this knowledge, and I wouldn't want to inadvertently stumble across any "misinformation" along the way...

That is the best selling car in America right now and its sales numbers overwhelm the entire EV market.

You still have to lubricate an EV. That hasn't changed. Moving parts are moving parts like in the suspension, drive shafts, etc.

No matter how 'strong' (read; large) the battery is, you still have to charge it.
It takes twice as long to charge a 100Mj battery than it does to charge a 50Mj battery.

Live for today. Tomorrow may never come.

It will come, even if you aren't around to see it.

 

[Into the Night]

So you don't use any lubrication on you car. Guess you don't care about it!

EVs require lubrication too, dumbass.

 

[Into the Night]

And muffler replacements and stolen catalytic converters.

You think EVs are immune to theft and vandalism??????!?

 

[Into the Night]

yes, try google

Google is not a battery.

 

[Into the Night]

Nah.

Heh. You ARE asking someone that routinely discards the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics. He believes in perpetual motion machines!

While a VERY popular car, the F150 sales beat it.
