Alpina wheels, but I don't see an Alpina badge on the back. Nice looking condition for a 1990 car though. My 1989 3-Series rusted away

Nissan GT-R designer pens a lightweight carbon EV “drivers car”

Porsche is already doing this. Nissan has recently proven with the lackluster 400z that they have no idea what they are doing. Porsche will do it right.Nissan GT-R designer pens a lightweight carbon EV “drivers car”

I'm not talking about the Taycan, I'm talking about a sports coupe. The Cayman EV.The Taycan is incredible, the turbo S I drove was next level. It was also $150k used.
my Z32 was at their peak
End of production in 1996. A mere 27 years ago!
That's just about the update cycle for the Frontier.
- Specifically, the analysis found that the electric Hyundai Kona, Canada’s second best-selling EV in 2021, is $17,800 cheaper to own than the gas-powered Kona with an average gas price of $2 per litre. Even at a gas price of $1.45, the Kona is still $10,500 cheaper. The electric Chevrolet Bolt offered even more cost savings, with the comparable gas-powered Toyota Corolla costing $22,000 more over its lifetime at a $2 gas price.
It's a minimum of $20 to get a full charge, $40+ on a fast charger and the Kona EV range is no where near what Hyundai claims it to be.
commercial fast charging is a last ditch thing, or should be.
recharging from home on cheap electrons is The Way. and is much more convenient. my charging is basically free since our 13.94 kW PV array overproduces on the year relative to our consumption.
If one digs into the weeds a little in that article, "cost of ownership" absolutely includes the cost of electricity.
I'd be more interested if the retail cost of that bolt was closer to the cost of the Corolla (or comparable).If one digs into the weeds a little in that article, "cost of ownership" absolutely includes the cost of electricity.
Fast charging availability, how long it takes and cost is the number one question from potential EV buyers. Followed by "how many miles can I actually drive on a full charge?".
Tell me you love taxes without saying you love taxes.
tell me fast charging means it charges in the time it takes to fill up a tank of gas.....
It varies by region and government of course, but here in CO, my fully loaded leaf was (IIRC) 26K-ish out the door after tax rebates/credits/etc, making it cheaper than pretty much every other 4 door, family friendly, no fun comparable car I was looking at, at the time.
I'd be lying if I said I'm shocked that the average car buyer enters the process this uninformed. I bet they also love 8 year loans because the monthly payment is "affordable".
Subsidies.
times I have actually had to quick charge in driving BEV vehicles for quite a few years/miles now: 0. although yesterday's trip to the mountains starting from 80% was cutting it a bit close. my bad there.
(i've done it on a lark when I've had free credits at Superchargers/Chargepoint/Electrify America/Blink.)
Ummmmmmm not exactly. We have 2 fast chargers at work, I watch people all day waste their time and money sitting on the chargers. Ford Lightning owners are here a solid 40-45 minutes.
