Top reasons to buy an electric car instead of a gas vehicle

I've driven electric cars from Tesla, Audi, Porsche, Hyundai, Kia, Volkswagen, Rivian, and more.*
​
EVs offer tons of benefits over gas cars that have nothing to do with being green.
​
Electric rides are quick, fun, spacious, and brimming with cutting-edge features.*
After driving well over a dozen new electric cars, I'm convinced that one is in my future.*
To be sure, there are real challenges to buying and owning an electric vehicle today. They're quite expensive to buy new and hard to find used. Charging infrastructure is immature enough that it can pose a challenge on long road trips.
But the many advantages of EVs are tough to ignore.*
EVs are quick, fun, and quiet

Almost all EVs, from budget Chevys to sporty Audis, have more pep in their step than comparable gas cars. They deliver instant, brisk acceleration that helps immensely with quick merges and the like. And besides the practical benefits, being able to shoot forward at a moment's notice is just plain fun.*
They're also super quiet and smooth on the road, since you don't hear the grumble of an engine or feel its vibrations. Particularly in high-end models like the Mercedes-Benz EQS, the experience is serene.*
They're packed with interesting features

Electric cars are where you'll find the latest in automotive tech and novel features you didn't think you needed.*
Teslas, for example, have a dog mode that keeps the air on for your pet and a sentry mode that records any fishy behavior near your car. The Chevy Bolt EUV offers Super Cruise, an excellent hands-free driving system for highways. The Mercedes EQS has an optional 56-inch array of screens that should make tech lovers salivate.*

The Kia EV6 boasts a couple of power outlets, while the Ford F-150 Lightning can offload enough electricity to power a house for days.
They offer cool storage solutions and spacious interiors

Since electric cars lack bulky components like an engine and transmission, automakers enjoy lots of flexibility to add extra interior room for people and stuff.*
Take the Ioniq 5 SUV, for example. Hyundai stretched its wheels far out to either end, boosting passenger comfort. Like many EVs, it has a totally flat floor (with no hump running down the middle) which does wonders for legroom. And it has a unique, sliding center console that lets owners decide when to free up more space in back or up front.*


The Rivian R1T pickup truck has an awe-inspiring gear tunnel, a transverse storage cubby behind the rear seats that's accessed from either side of the vehicle. The F-150 Lightning, among other electric models, offers a giant front trunk. Tesla's Model Y pairs a frunk with generous under-floor storage in back.*

Charging can be more convenient than getting gas
Once you get the hang of charging, it can actually be less of a hassle than filling up on gas. If you have a garage or driveway, you can plug in an EV at home overnight and wake up with a full charge in the morning. And while you run errands or travel, you can often find chargers to add a little juice while you're out and about.
Yes, an EV needs to sit for a long while to charge — much longer than a typical fuel stop — but consider how much of the day your car is sitting anyway.*

For example, while I spent the day skiing last winter, I left the Polestar 2 I was reviewing plugged into a free charger at the mountain and came back to a nearly full battery. Charging will only get more streamlined as more plugs sprout up in parking lots, offices, and on city streets.*
All these advantages, plus the huge benefit of not burning fossil fuels, make EVs a clear choice for many buyers.

EV's suck.

Do you really think that auto manufacturers worldwide, who are all committed to electric vehicles, are planning to commit trillion dollar suicide due to a lack of electricity? Possibly these multi billion dollar companies know a lot more than you could ever hope to.

There are 3 grids in the US the Western the Eastern and the Texas grids. They were telling people not to charge their cars on the Western grid this year. We all saw the near collapse of the Texas grid . The Eastern grid users have also been told to conserve their electricity usage. So the electric grids are not ready for a sharp increase in EVs.




Plug-in cars are the future. The grid isn’t ready.

The Western interconnect has already installed isolation switching to shed the SDTC offline to protect the rest of the grid. The SDTC now imports almost all their power from the Western interconnect.

FloridaMan is just writing fiction again. Toyota, the worlds' largest car manufacturer, has already announced they are abandoning the production of EVs'. Tesla is losing money due to increased costs. GM has had failure after failure with them. Less than 1% of the cars on the road are EVs.

There will be no sharp increases in EV ownership, it's going to be a gradual increase over the years, easy enough for our electric grids to handle.

Is Toyota making EVs?
At the high end of the increased projection, Toyota would be producing over 190,000 of the EVs per year. By comparison, Toyota sold just under 86,000 of the standard hybrid Prius hatchback in 2021.

Tesla's losses are all about supply chain issues, you know the stuff you blame on Biden!

Luxury electric cars coming in 2023 from Lexus, Polestar, Lucid

All sorts of new electric cars are on the way from startups and established brands.*
​
2023 will see a flood of luxury options from brands like Lexus, Lucid Motors, and Rolls-Royce.*
​
These expensive EVs offer lots of range, opulent features, and incredible performance.*
Car companies are doubling down on electric vehicles. That means buyers can expect dozens more models of all kinds in the near future.

In 2021, a little more than 5% of all light-duty vehicle sales were electric. Over 20% of all passenger vehicles sales include electric vehicles. This means that for every five vehicles bought during 2021, one was an electric vehicle. These numbers don’t even include EV sales globally, showing just how popular electric vehicles are becoming.
 
Electric cars have many desirable features, and need only to solve the long distance trip charging problems.
If you only drive them locally, they seem like a good idea. You've got all night to charge them.

The problem is cultural. Some of us are still around who loved the big, dirty running, fuel thirsty, noisy, and powerful V8 internal combustion engines
for reasons that have little to do with meeting basic transportation needs. For purely aesthetic and cultural reasons.

A cheap digital watch tells time as well as a Rolex, and you've got your cell phone and don't need a watch at all. But if you want a Rolex, you want a Rolex and
knowing the time of day has little to do with it.

Soon, those of us who grew up either finally getting or continuing to lust for 19 foot long luxury highway cruisers, big block Corvettes, and macho pickups, even though we do office work,
will all be gone. Then the electric cars will smoothly roll into place.

Tesla has overtaken BMW to become the top luxury car brand in the US for 2022, becoming the first American vehicle manufacturer in 25 years to hold the title.
Tesla sold over 491,000 cars in the US in 2022 compared to BMW that sold close to 332,400 cars during the period, according to estimates by the Automotive News Research & Data Center.
The American electric vehicle maker’s sales last year was more than 56 per cent of what it could sell in 2021.

How many people my age bought Teslas?

My primary car is a big, hemi-powered Grand Cherokee .
I didn't really want a car like that at first, but they discontinued the body-on-frame Lincoln Town Car and left me no choice.
Well, I tried a 2012 Caddy, a unibody piece of shit nothing like the Town Car, and it genuinely sucked, so Jeep it was.
A totally new direction for me, but still an already obsolete one.

My summer, get me to the golf course car is a vintage Corvette, the fuel consumption of which is measured in gallons per mile.
I, however, am 76 years old. When my gang is finally all gone, the resistance to electric vehicles will also be gone--
except for people influenced by the fossil fuel industry.

Ask anybody here if they give one shit about your car history. It was mmore interesting when you were all for killing SC justices.

The discussion was about motorcars, not the SCOTUS.
You already know which justices to whom I'd pass the hemlock.
Don't hesitate to take a big gulp yourself.

Gas has a shelf life. It can cause problems if it sits too long. Yeah, leaks and fires can happen. The smell will happen.

Yuppers. But we have to remember that fires and health damage from petroleum is infinitely less bad than fires and health damage from EV's. That's because EV's are from satan.
