Mine at 100% charge gets 175 miles of range (don't turn on the climate because that knocks it down to 160 miles), dealer says they are working on a fix. But won't look at the car.

You may want to look at the Hyundai Ioniq 6. Rated for 360 mile range on a 100% charge, and Hyundai's been doing $7,500 cashback to offset the ineligibility for federal credits. And if you're really lucky, your state won't charge sales tax—NJ didn't for mine.

Quote from DonV1962 :
Your blanket statements are ridiculous. See this review of a typical EV and you will see it is not user error. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzsMhhoc6aI
Dude, that's not a "typical EV" it's a Fisker-- which they've sold almost 0 of to anyone and is going bankrupt. If that's your best anti-EV argument you should be embarrased.


Quote from DonV1962 :
Coal is being burned at unheard of levels to crate EVs.
Quote from DonV1962 :
You consider burning more coal and wood that create green products and energy that is less efficient and much more costly to be a solution to something?

It literally is.

Burning FF at central plants is objectively cleaner and more efficient than burning them in individual less efficient gasoline engines.

Cradle to grave EVs are much cleaner than gas cars, period full stop- even when coal is a percentage of the central power source (and the majority of FFs burned in the US for power is natural gas- itself considerably cleaner than coal OR gasoline)

Yet in this deal we see the same problems and reliability issues. Are Subaru and Toyota not
typical EVs?

You ignore the true cost. Coal and wood is being burned to make components and parts and then again to charge batteries is not efficient and you do not account for all costs, China's coal plants are not efficient or clean and we all breathe the same air.. You also ignore the deforestation effects and the increased pollutants and toxic waste that we will have to deal with. You also ignore the mining and human slavery that also has it's costs.

Care to explain why EVs can drop near 60% in value after a year or so if they are so efficient and great. Cradle to grave for a EV is when the battery warranty runs out. That is going to have piles and piles of EV leaking toxins and heavy metals who knows where.

Quote from whyzir :
There was no green deal passed, what passed into law was the IRA, that wasnt shoved down anyones throats, it only incentivized certain green products because nobody is paying for the envirinmental damage fossil fuels have done. Anyone can still buy gas cars. If you're whining about anything shoved down throats, whine about the taxpayer subsidies that have existed for decades for the fossil fuel industry, including funding the misinformation echo chambers you've been swimming in.
Most people don't realize there would be no gas/oil and beef industry in the US or at-least not what it is today without massive government subsidies, loans and infrastructure loans.
Only a fraction goes to green energy.
We have used the green deal to help invest in a new sub-panel and heat pumps.
People like Norcal007 only have short term vision and could care less about the future which is where this bill will do wonders.

Nope.

They're a good 10 years behind the leaders in the field- and that's reflected in their hilariously low sales.

For all of 2023 Subaru sold a total of 8,872 of these cars.

Tesla sold more EVs than that every two days in the same year.

I do though. And it's still cleaner to do EVs than gas cars cradle to grave.

Which part of that fact do you not understand?

When it comes to lifecycle emissions, the answer is a resounding yes. According to a new report by BloombergNEF, in all analyzed cases, EVs have lower lifecycle emissions than gas cars. Just how much lower depends on how far they are driven, and the cleanliness of the grid where they charge.

Quote :
The total carbon footprint of gasoline cars quickly overtakes that of EVs after 15,000 miles of driving[/B]
Which for the typical driver is just over one year of use... and the ICE keeps getting worse cumulatively for all the 10+ years both likely remain in service.

Quote from EPA :
Electric vehicles are better for the environment. Full stop...in every metric that we use to measure environmental impact, that we know how to really quantify, electric vehicles are better for the environment now, and they will continue to improve
In one of the studies cited in this link they measure it as 19,500 miles before the cradle to grave total emissions from an ICE car would be greater than an EV- and again keep getting worse for the ICE car the longer beyond that both are driven.

People don't know that because it's not true. The oil and gas industry is a massive contributor to government revenues and these elusive "subsidies" are a made-up partisan straw man.

So you are telling is that all these other EVs produced are ready for the graveyard. Not really a ringing endorsement of the industry and where is the efficiency and saving in that. Wood and coal were burned to create and power them and the lifecycle is over already. Now the cost of and trouble or trying to recycle gets paid. Massive waste of energy and other resources that is going to pollute the environment that they are supposedly to save.

Quote from BabyBubba :
Nice lease payment, although range issues are obviously on the radar.

We are currently seeing the tip of the iceberg on upcoming massive price drops across the board, both for EVs and internal combustion cars and trucks. Demand for all has dropped to historic lows because of greedy pricing by manufacturers/dealers combined with high interest rates, tightened lending standards, and upside down trade-ins. Lots are overflowing nationwide, with even some new 2022 models still unsold. When the tipping point is reached in the next 6 months or so, 5 figure discounts off sticker will become the norm as dealers scramble to offload inventory in a buyer's market. Many dealers are facing bankruptcy as we speak unless drastic measures are taken to move cars that are costing them huge amounts in floorplan interest costs. It's time for them to pay the piper for the easy money they made during the pandemic.

Oh and I forgot to mention the underhanded, dishonest tactics and ridiculous add-ons from dealers. All of this combined has made the average car buyer detest the current "dealership experience". I'd love to go buy a new truck, but currently there is no way I'd set foot on a dealership lot with all of the above in mind. They can keep their $80,000 trucks; I'm not interested.
A little market correction will be great!

No. Why do you keep making up things nobody said?

I'm simply pointing out if you want to look at what to expect from the majority of EVs today you shouldn't be cherry picking the ones that are only like 0.1% of annual sales.


It'd be about like saying all beer is bad because the batch you made in your garage made you sick.

Why do you keep repeating debunked nonsense my dude?

What, specifically, do you hope to gain from that?

Cradle to grave the emissions from making, fueling, and disposing of an EV are lower than for gasoline cars

Stomping your feet up and down because someone chopped down a tree doesn't change the facts or the math proving it.




Did you notice this story was about 3 years old?

Also- did you actually read it?

because it notes even back then car makers were already preparing to handle this exact issue

Quote from YOUR source :
Nissan, for example, is now reusing old batteries from its Leaf cars in the automated guided vehicles that deliver parts to workers in its factories...Volkswagen is doing the same, but has also recently opened its first recycling plant, in Salzgitter, Germany... Renault, meanwhile, is now recycling all its electric car batteries
In the 3 years since even more major recycling companies have come into being to handle the issue.

Redwood Materials for example, founded by the former CTO of Tesla, which has recycling deals with Ford, Volvo, Panasonic, and others.


The materials in the batteries are quite valuable, and recycling them is a profitable business. This is a "problem" that is easily solving itself through basic economic factors.



Quote from topcho :

More factually-untrue nonsense.

https://www.imf.org/en/Topics/cli...-subsidies
Quote from IMF :
Globally, fossil fuel subsidies were $7 trillion or 7.1 percent of GDP in 2022, reflecting a $2 trillion increase since 2020 due to government support from surging energy prices.

There's nothing elusive about em either- they've been in the US tax code for a long time-

The oldest, known as "intangible drilling costs," was created by the Revenue Act of 1913 and was aimed at encouraging the development of U.S. resources. The deduction allows companies to write off as much as 80 percent of the costs of drilling, things like employee wages and survey work, in the first year of operation, even before producing a drop of oil.

Another subsidy, dating from 1926 and known as the depletion allowance, initially let oil companies deduct their taxable income by 27.5 percent, a number that seemed strangely specific.

"We could have taken a 5 or 10 percent figure, but we grabbed 27.5 percent because we were not only hogs but the odd figure made it appear as though it was scientifically arrived at," Senator Tom Connally, the Texas Democrat who sponsored the break and who died in 1963, was quoted as having said.


So the idea we don't subsidize oil/gas-- and have been doing so for over a century, simply ain't so.

EVs that end up immediately abandoned are immediately in the grave and generate no savings it is all waste. You keep telling is that the government says EVs are safe and effective but the market seems to be saying otherwise. Even Teslas suffer the horrific loss in blue book value and nobody wants one when the battery warranty is near end. Cradle to grave for many EVs will be three years max. The poor people that bought models that may now no longer exist have graveyard models. They are all going to end up in a trash heap. Government and the manufacturers hyped how great is what all going to be but now we are seeing the truth. Coal wood and and fossil fuel use are all growing to feed the EV market it is generate pollution and waste at a massive scale. Government hides that by allowing wood burning to be classed a green energy.

Sure. But nobody is really making those.

There was one weird bit in China due to a combo of strange govt. subsidies and these ride-hailing small cars that resulted in some being used to farm subsidy and the ride hailing or car company then went broke.... but that's already over- and even in the link you posted those 'graveyards" are usually a few hundred cars.... in a market that's selling (and using- for years) millions per year EVs... and even those small hundreds-of-cars lots are slowly being cleaned up/recycled- which your own source pointed out- because the batteries are valuable


Quote from DonV1962 :

How?

The literal best selling car in the world in 2023 was the Tesla Model Y.


Quote from DonV1962 :

Outright lie.

The minimum battery warranty on an EV in the US is 8 years.


Why do you keep doubling down on debunked untrue things my dude?

Is it intentional- or simply an unwillingness to educate yourself?



Quote from DonV1962 :

Again you seem to be cherry picking like 0.1% of all sales (things like Fisker) and ignoring the other 99.9%.

Also roughly 0 "poor" people bought a Fisker.



Quote from DonV1962 :

Why keep lying about this?

They will be recycled.

A story you cited even pointed out how all the major car companies have process for doing this and many third party companies are appearing to help the do it.

nice.

first one that i recall that did.

what was msrp?

what did u pay at signing? ..like literally $0?

so will your total cost be:
329x36=11,844?

(+whatever fees u pay end lease.... after 36 months)
$0 at signing... Will be the $11,844 total. It also was a Limited - not a Premium, with a bunch of accessories added. Unbelievable deal. In 3 years hopefully there will be more standards, better battery tech etc. I would never buy one, too many unknowns right now. Leasing them is the smart move. This also included a 2 year maintenance contract @ no extra cost. Basically tire rotations - not sure what else needs service.
