Supercharger charges to full in 15 min. Last time i was at a rest stop in NJ, I had to actually come out and move my car since it was done and my food order was still in progress..
Same with the E-GMP platform (EV6, Ioniq 5/6). All of these charge 10-80% in 18 minutes.

Yes, 80% technically isn't "full", but it is also recommended to only charge to 80% anyway, since it's better for the battery.

The Ioniq 6 has been shown to get up to (and over) 320 miles on just 80%, so still a decent range, but of course depends on your needs.

Quote from BabyBubba :
Seems like I read somewhere that it was 35 cents a KWH or so there, which is crazy. I pay 12-15 cents a KWH. And honestly, I haven't seriously considered an EV purchase, so I've never researched electricity costs per mile. I'd love it if a current EV owner could comment on operating costs.

Operating costs are dramatically lower even in that crazy 35 cents per KWH scenario. The better BEVs today get 4+ miles per KWH, so in your scenario it's 3-4 cents per mile. So if gas is $3 it's cost equivalent to 100 miles per gallon lol. For the person in Cali it's not much different because fuel is usually more expensive in western states for a variety of reasons, and California specifically.

Brakes basically don't wear on any relevant time frame because of engine regen doing most of the braking. Obviously no fluids to speak of really. Only real downside is somewhat faster tire wear due to heavier curb weights. A lot of people find Tesla's wear tires fast, but that's because a lot of people are having fun driving 0-60 in 3 seconds lol.

But yeah, for MOST people in MOST situations operating costs are dramatically lower with EVs than ICE. You do pay a premium for that, but I think for most people the long run is a wash or positive in favor of the EV. Plus lots of weird EV only perks like never using a gas station because you charge at home, or being able to leave climate control on "all the time" to some extent because the AC/heat doesn't rely on the ICE motor for power so it doesn't have a high cost to do. Downsides mostly show up on road trips though if you are in a Tesla OR one of the companies whose deal with Tesla has started even that isn't bad since you can add 3-4 hours of driving range in 15-25 minutes in a stop.

They aren't for everyone, but outside of culture war nonsense and a slightly (once factoring in tax credits) higher upfront cost they are a great option for most people.

Quote from trza :
Forcing EVs or taxing the poor so wealthy people can get EVs cheaper is just bad economics.
I mean continuing to allow ICEs to pollute the commons at no cost is really really bad economics, but everyone loses their mind at the idea of a carbon tax so the only other way to even attempt to balance those scales is incentives for green.

Also the bottom half or so pay no income tax which is what is used to pay for those tax breaks, so the poor aren't being taxed unless you think Medicare funds are going to it.

Also initially when I took a road trip from dc to NY, I charged my car to 100% at home and didn't follow Tesla's instruction to stop 5 min to charge to continue..I just charged to 80% and spent 15-20 min because i was nervous about the range. When I got to NY, I had 50% or so left..when I came back and I followed navigation to the tee and made me stop only once for 10 min to charge. Moral of the story is…range anxiety is there but once you take a road trip and notice enough chargers available(at least for Tesla's) to not worry or have any anxiety. The next road trip I took, I just got into car(@50%) and followed the navigation..

Is this even real?

No one has said they were able to replicate & no one has even said they see the $241 price.

Everyone too worried about ICE v EV.

Would you even get the credit since this is a lease. That credit might also only apply if bought in MN.
Dealer stated need credit check to know lease payments
MN program requirements certainly says it qualifies
https://mn.gov/commerce/energy/co...urlhasbeenblocked.jsp

Extremely tough for me to justify a 10k/yr new vehicle vs ICE beaters
Increased insurance
Increased registration

What zip code is this deal from? When I search my area it shows both the 2023 and 2024 Solterra Premiums as $329/month.

Cargurus shows what look to be a few qualifying models at a Subaru dealership in Long Island.

They're here, and called BEVs.

I think Toyota or someone has hydrogen powered tech these days.
Yes and it's terrible.

They've been selling them for over 10 years and almost nobody buys them (they sell like 2-3 thousand in the US per year). Fueling stations basically do not exist outside a tiny area in California, fuel is crazy expensive, and a significant chunk of those few stations that exist have shut down in the past year because it's a garbage solution nobody wants.


Even the primary engineer of their Fool Cell car admits it's inferior to BEVs like Teslas.

Quote from Yoshikazu Tanaka the chief engineer in charge of Toyotas Mirai :
Elon Musk is right – it's better to charge the electric car directly by plugging in

Toyota has only kept pushing them because they're hilariously far behind on developing a good BEV... (the car in this deal, and the fact nobody was buying them anywhere near MSRP, is further evidence of that)

Thanks for the reply, now I can end my witch hunt!
I did find it, even if the local dealer told me it was not possible 'within 500 miles'. I found it 45 miles away (Monrovia) and another at 60 (San Fernando Valley), then another at 100 (San Diego).

So if you're willing to expand your radius, maybe? But this is also 2 months ago. Honestly more deals will come. I wish I had gotten the Bolt deal, which came around multiple times.
