The stuff going on in Israel and Russia right now is an indication that Bible prophecy is likely soon to be fulfilled. Remember, prophecy is not a prediction, it is a promise.
In the year 1000 AD and at many other times. people thought current events indicated the Bible prophesy coming to pass. Everyone thinks the end of the world will occur during their lifetimes.
Dropping EVs won't be an allowed option
.
Look at the "entry level" electric vehicle, the Chevy Bolt with MSRP of around $26,500 and a range of about 260 miles.
Its been reported owners are easily getting 300 miles range.
Chevy needs a marketing campaign to show life cycle or total ownership costs for at least 10 years. Chevy guarantees the batteries for 100,000 miles. So figure based on 15,000 miles per year that is 6.7 years.
.
I presume they did this to save the battery, as repeated fast charges, even on a Tesla, shorten battery life.
You could spend 5 years earning minimum wage to comfortably paying off the car loan for a Maverick.

That's why you can get used golf carts for under $1k. The previous owner got the life out of the battery and the new owner has to replace them. The value goes to shit. Replacing a vehicle battery that moves up to 3-4k lbs loads, that's a big ass battery.

Can you buy a used golf cart that has lithium batteries and relpace the lithium batteries with regular AGM car batteries and an AGM charger?
For short distances I prefer the electric since it's quiet and quick. Long distances EV's have never made sense to me. I drive long distances a lot. So it just won't work for me.
BTW - if you ever get a chance to roadtrip in a Tesla, check it out. Can't tell you how much more enjoyable and less stress it is to simply turn on Autopilot and let the car handle all the freeway driving.
True costs of fueling an electric vehicle, including excess charging costs and subsidies, is equal to $17.33 per gallon of gasoline, a new analysis found.

I pay full freight and I am still saving nearly $200/month in gas.
I have a V8 ICE Nissan Armada and live in the middle of no where. I don't spend $200 in gas a month. Not sure what you were driving before because you're not saving $200/mo in gas when factoring in electric. A semi?
I got no rebates, get no subsidies and pay some of the highest electricity rates in the country living in SoCal. Even with an EV, I use less electricity than my neighbors with pools and AC.

Minimum wage was $1.60 an hour back in 1970. Cars were affordable relative to minimum wage. You could spend 5 years earning minimum wage to comfortably paying off the car loan for a Maverick. City/Highway mileage was 17/22 only :-/
I average 1,200 miles a month including family road trips and gas is over $4.5/gallon.

Still paying the electric and you're not going to a super charger station every time unless you don't value your time. Or you hire an electrician to install a proper charger. There goes another $2k at least.

And I just got a letter from PG&E showing the new rate plans based upon what I paid in electricity last year. $300 more projected for EV charging plan.
