ALL of the off-roaders who have gone electric that I know have a gas-powered generator they throw in the back for when we're 200km up a logging road.
Let's see how those battery packs are doing in 10 years you fucking wank stain on humanity.
Fuck rich people.
Either still driving perfectly fine or found a second life as static energy storage before ultimately being recycled.
Where I am the price difference between a base model Camry and a Model 3 is 21%. A difference I’d make up in lower running costs within two years.
But you're comparing new cars. I don't buy new cars, probably never will. There are no electric cars worth their salt in my price range, which is in the 10yo second hand range.
Absolutely sensible choice. You’ll benefit from a lower capital outlay now, and will realise the savings once second hand EVs hit your price point.
Anyone buying new would be wise to consider an EV (if available).

Electric vehicles are the future of cars, but it will mean an entire extra class of people who will be cut off from car ownership.
And they're not going to like it.

It's called a stable. And if you keep horses then yes you need to build one.

I don't drive a lot any more now that I work from home...but if I purchased an electric vehicle, the batteries (arguably one of the most expensive components of the vehicle) are slowly degrading whether I drive it or not, and I would either have to throw away the whole car or replace the extremely expensive batteries as early as 10 years (assuming the company who built it still exists). If I buy a gas-powered car instead, there is not a significant expensive component on it that starts totally degrading over time whether I used it or not...except the 12v battery under the hood that I have to replace every 5 to 7 years.
That Rivian CEO is suffering from affluenza and seems to think people are made of money.
