Like it or not, wihtin the next 6 or 7 years there will be no choice, all the car manufacturers are switching over (Toyota is staying hybrid it appears).
Like it or not...in 6 or 7 years...It's gonna be culture shock to operate an EV...The Federal loss of tax revenue from gas and diesel HAS to be made up somewhere...what may seem like a bargain short term....is non sustainable...unless of course your foolish enough to think this "free lunch" will continue...

The whole system is not sustainable, do you really think this "reality" will continue? I own everything (well almost) and just ride the wave.

Speaking specifically to the EV initiative...and the inevitable increased cost of operation...

Thanks, we will keep enjoying our two Challenger Hellcats, the two TRXs, and the two Ram 3500s. And my girlfriend is quite content with her one remaining Porsche and the RS6 Avant. Heck, she even likes her Audi Q8, and I really like my Challenger GT AWD, too. And there's more, but I won't bore you with those. Especially since only one is electric; a John Deere eGator I bought for dirt cheap.

Oops, almost forgot the Durango Hellcat I just picked up. Anyway, I'm not in the least interested in a pissing match. Just like we're not in the least interested in the piss poor usefulness of some EV.

Regarding that specific question, I don't care. What I know is "free" charging is at least thru 2024, with the electric cars I own. I just drive the shit out of them and save a boat load of money. The tax credit is there at $ 7,500.00 but there are income limits based on the Inflation reduction act.

All I do is look at the all the incentives and credits out there and act accordingly.

You're unfortunately far from the only one who can't see the forest for the trees, and lack the integrity to say no to handouts.

Actually, unlike EVs, not a single vehicle of ours is ugly.

Okay, some look better than others, but none of them are appliance like.

No, I hate flying and would never have any kind of aircraft. And we're down to one residence. And thankfully it's far from the areas where the EV fanatics could be encountered.

But as an aside, this happens to be "Hellcat Forum Org.", not some greenie site, so maybe you should have expected a certain amount of backlash when trying to spread the EV gospel?

Much like I don't like that the government is trying to force them on us, I really don't like that you won't accept that an EV would be utterly useless to us. Not just in theory, but in real life.

I know what this forum is and what my standing is here, do you know yours? I have been completely honest regarding the money saved and your response is just full of hate. You think because it is here that you can be hateful?

You peg my dislike (based on perfectly logical reasons) as hate. Okay, that's probably the woke thing to do.

But now that you mention it...I don't know my standing here. As far as I know I'm merely an unpaid member who speaks my mind, and hasn't been banned yet.

Then again, I also know that I haven't posted about the greatness of Hellcats on some EV forum. That, I think, would be dumb, no matter how much I like Hellcats. Which is a lot.

...Weather you care or not doesn't mitigate what the reality of EV ownership will be in 6/7 years..

Again, I do not care and you do not know the reality in 6/7 years other than what I stated and what is published. Should we talk about the cost savings right now or should just focus on bullshit?

Somebody please refresh my memory here.

Didn't ChargerChallenger, who owns a crap load of bitchin' vehicles, try an EV? A Lighting I think.
As I recall, he gave up on that one in a few weeks, despite living in a populated area and driving on major routes.

Wow, I have repeatedly gave you the math, but it means nothing, you have said you are negative on EV and it doesn't matter facts or not, therefore, you are a hater. Woke? wow, a member who speaks his mind but is closed minded and cannot do basic math (so it seems) and I am woke, just crazy.

Look at the title and thread here. You want to post on going 8 or 7's I am there, you want to post on modifications to hellcats. I am there, been there and done it. You want to post about records and who has the A8 record, I am there, I had the record for over 2 years and working on getting it back. You want to post some bullshit about electric cars, oh yes, I there also.

Well...I really don't care what you saved..(or what you drive for that matter)...drive what you like..for whatever reason...while not knowing what the future holds...it's a pretty safe bet my assessment has merit..
