Your take on a Chevy pickup won't sell as an EV because the price is $91,000 suggests you should have done a little more research. Most Chevy pickup trucks start at over $60,000 with an ICE engine, with some ICE pickups models, such as the high country, for over $90,000 with an ICE. Just as there are people who will pay over $90,000 for an ICE pickup, there are people who will pay over $90,000 for an EV pickup truck, or $78000 for the 3wt model. In truth, the overall price of EVs has dropped them to be close to par with the same comparable model of ICE vehicles.

I’m from neighboring Washington State, and I’m familiar with driving in British Columbia. Driving in your Province is a lot like driving in upstate New York, or in Pennsylvania. Compared with the Western U.S. States, B.C. has fewer freeways, and more reliance on Provincial highways that may or may not have more than two lanes. A number of Provincial routes in the greater Vancouver area run right down the middle of the downtown areas of cities like Cloverdale and Coquitlam-and they carry truck traffic. B.C. roads are built with steeper grades, sharper curves and are narrower than we expect to see in Washington and Oregon. Believe me, this is NOT a complaint, it’s just an observation! I love B.C., and its people, too. I’m glad that your Province has taken the lead in North America and acted to prevent self driving cars from ruining the motoring experience on our continent.

​@@JKHTXwhy would you buy an EV every 5 years? The fuel cells alone are gaurenteed between 8-10 years, and the drive train, with fewer moving parts to service, will likely outlast most ICE engines, and still be easier to swap out if the motor does burn out somehow.

Leasing is a great deal…for the car dealership or leasing company. Cars typically depreciate the most over the first 2-3 years of ownership. It’s no coincidence that most car leases are structured for 3 years. Essentially, your lease payment reflects that initial depreciation, plus the money factor (interest). So, you return the car to the leasing company AFTER you’ve paid for the depreciation on their car. Then you either have to buy out the same car at a predetermined price, or lease another. Either way you’ll never be without a car or lease payment, which is their plan. Far better to find the car you like, negotiate your best price, pay cash, or put 50% down and finance the balance for no more than 48 months. Best rate car loans usually can be prearranged through your credit union or local bank. That’s my customary procedure. Cheers.

Every time I start to consider an electric truck, I always check the current price tag and if it is a hybrid. I use my gas truck for work not a limo. The price tag is ridiculous and counterintuitive to the purpose of the truck. I would only purchase a hybrid so I have a power supply for tools and equipment. An all electric truck is just not going to get me anywhere I need to go on one charge and because I have work to do I CANNOT stop to charge it. HOWEVER the batteries and the fire hazard they pose a non negotiable deal breaker.

Have to give props to my local Home Depot. They gave me a $400 credit for a failed cement leveling job from their contractor long after the job was done. Also, they replaced a facet where the finish was peeling off within the first year, whereas the manufacturer would NOT stand behind their product. I'm looking at YOU, Glacier Bay!

Glacier Bay is a Home Depot store brand. If they don't replace it, they're staring down the barrel of a PR disaster.

[@tomjoseph1444]

Companies want you to call them instead of returning an item to the store. Stores will just refund money and mark an item as defective and the manufacturer has to eat the loss. In reality, most "defects" are actually from the consumer being a stupid mouth breather and can't follow simple instructions. They can resolve the issue via a phone call.

[@Kopernicus67]

Big 3 is obsessed with a past that never existed. Instead of focusing on a reliable, attractive car for the masses (like a RAV4 hybrid for example, 400k units per year in the US, fast as a hot hatch form the 90s, and 40 mpg) they focus on putting 700hp engines in a vehicle that cannot brake or corner safely (Wrangler). Every time they are bailed out, they make a few half-hearted attempts to compete and change their ways, then they are right back pushing V8 and other low mpg cars.

[@thewoodsman5261]

Nothing wrong with V8's, some of the most dependable and reliable vehicles have an 8 cylinder under the hood. Give the consumers options, if you like rinky dink 4 cylinders and weak v6's that's cool. But there will always be a market for a full size truck with a solid V8.

In europe, they do that…small cars with 3 cyl turbo diesels..good on fuel and narrower smaller streets, easy to park in tighter spots. Speed limits there are slower in cities and fast on highways…most small cars are not seen much on major highways there, and people definitely stay in the right lane and move over once they pass.

[@b.p.stimemachines2327]

I don’t think a turbo powered engine is good for off-road use at all in my opinion because you have to spool it up to get any power out of it and then by the time it’s spools up your rear tires are spinning in your wet front lawn so turbo I’d rather have a six cylinder naturally aspirated engine for any kind of off-road use, especially considering it may suck in waterbut most people buy these vehicles and they never see a stick

[@heartattackjack9349]

GM does understand the market. That's why they are making them so expensive. They don't want you to buy them. They want you to be the regular gas/diesel vehicles because they make a fortune on parts.

[@TripReviews]

With all the drivers I see running red lights amd stop signs maybe self driving cars aren’t so bad after all?

[@markusb2743]

I am an older guy, who like bigger normally aspirated engines, these new 3 and 4 cylincer turbo charged engines just will never last like a bigger 6 or 8 cylincer engine. These small engines has to run at 80% capacity all the time, where bigger engines just cruises. My old 325i e30 has 750 k km on the clock and the engine is still perfect. and my 525i E34 has 350 k km on the clock and still perfect, these new cars use oil, smokes after 2 years. Nothing is made like the old days. These small turbo cars are fast and economical, but what you save on fuel you will pay on repairs after 60 k on the clock. I just prefer not driving a sewing mashine. If you drive these new cars like I drive my old cars they won't last 6 months.

Why are you so concerned about people who own an EV ? It’s their money and if they want to buy an electric vehicle it’s their choice. It’s really none of your business

[@d-rockanomaly9243]

EV batteries last about 200,000 miles on average, an ICE lasts about 150,000 miles on average. Yes and EV battery is more expensive to replace them the average car engine. But in virtually every case a vehicle engine that dies is too expensive to justify replacement anyway. So I don't know what do you do when your car dies? Buy new one right?
