| As much as it’s not the best the ev cars are going to be the way of the future. There are trade offs on both sides when it comes to cost effectiveness but not mentioned above is the tax credits you get with an ev vehicle. | |||||

| Hmmm.... the only Volt fires I heard about were when it first came out. They stored some crash test ones in a way that was not recommended and they sparked up. After the first couple of years GM never even bothered to talk about the car. Dealers didn't push them either. Just my .02 cents anyway. | |||||

| 2023 Subaru Solterra is a full EV engineered by Toyota which should be interesting since Subaru and Toyota have a relationship going for their sports cars and EVs. 2023 nissan Z is one I am super excited about because I wasn't the biggest fan of the 370z, it was reliable, but it didn't look as good as the new Z, 350z, older Z cars, and the Infiniti G Coupe. The twin-turbo v6 in the new Z is the same one from the Q50/Q60 RS 400 and it's proven to be a pretty good and dependable engine in its 5 years since it came out and it makes good power. I think it will d ... | |||||

| @S1C EM Well if you are talking to the common consumer, in GENERAL, nissan are not good cars. Past 100k or even before. Many of us here have seen more than one that have fallen apart over time old or new, Carlos Ghosn era I mean. He did try though besides the other allegations. Older old nissans/Datsun are way more reliable compared to now if you are talking about in general. There be a reason that their lowest selling new car is like 12k new out the door. I use to work at a benz,bmw shop so yeah there are worse out there but that doesn't make nissan just be ... | |||||

| You are unreal.. I was simply defending that you don’t have to like them. they aren’t bad if that’s your thing. I would NOT criticize or name call people for liking them because they’re opinion differs from my own. We are here to give people positive productive criticism not mocked for differences of opinion. As for the market you or any other consumer have no control over it which is all I’m saying. I’m not into the whole “ the man is trying to force people into things mentality “ as @mountainmanjoe stated they are everywhere and the market for them grows everyday and there’s a lot of them on the road. You don’t like them then don’t buy one. At the end of the day NOBODY cares | |||||

| Statistics say they made up 9.2% of new car sales in 2020 . Roughly 40 thousand EV's on the road in my city, half of them Tesla. #1 in North America. In Summer 2019 Tesla was delivering 130 per day to customers. There are now more than 1,700 charging stations, as well as Tesla’s network of 14 Superchargers, with another 4 with permits or already under construction, and another 9 planned. For now, I think they are mostly just well-to-do people who like the smooth ride, lack of maintenance, and not having to go to the refuelling station. These are people who aren't really affected by gas prices. | |||||

| Battery fires happened with Bolt not Volt. GM discontinued it because they are morons! They want to chase tesla and don't realize that most of the people that buy them are musk fan boi's. | |||||

| Have you looked into the Chevy Volt? They are very reliable and would be compatible with the amount of driving you say you do per day. Even if you go over that amount it has an engine so you won't get stuck. | |||||

| @ChuckTobiasgood point, I agree. then the price would make sense.Personally I have a feeling it’s even worse, I think he means it’s just a used battery. although it’s still quite a bad deal - $3.5k to make his car last maybe another 2-3 years… | |||||

| The future is the direction where the industry is going? I’m not sure where you’re from but in the u.s there is a year in which most if not all vehicles are going to be electric? And for longevity I’ve been working on them since 2013 and I still see 13 model year vehicles that have a strong battery capacity and range for the technology of that year when they came out and they have only improved since by double or more? So thus far they last. And to the year when they become more mandated the technology is only going to evolve. You guys don’t like it I get it. It doesn’t change reality. Are they a different animal in the way of repairs… absolutely. It’s up to people like us to evolve with these vehicles. But to sit here and just down play what they are and what they are capable of is pointless but you’re entitled to your opinion. Having worked on them for almost ten years and driven tons of them they are solid cars and the instant torque of the electric motors they get up and go. I personally don’t want one but they are still interesting in there own right and bring something to the table though not for everyone | |||||

| I agree with Chuck. - @R4nier I really would love to know what do you mean by "that's the future"? how is it any different than a petrol to the consumer? Basically, how is it better for the consumer? - The only futuristic thing about is that some big Govs plan to shove it down our throats. It's just a more expensive, less user friendly, less repair friendly car - just a different, significantly worse powertrain. - Don't get me wrong, I like technology that improves my life - I love that on my car it always holds the steering wheel. But what I do not like is technology that makes life worse, like a troublesome, expensive to repair, and not-long lasting powertrain. And I'm saying this as someone who lives in a place where you see cars like the Fluence Z.E EV, MG ZS EV, and Geely Geometry C EV everywhere. | |||||
