and every day you see more and more Kias. They are everywhere! 15 years ago, I never heard of Kia

[@ooneybird27]

@@PSpringfield Honestly, Hyundai was doing so well until they bought Kia, then quality and build issues began surfacing in both lines of vehicles. I have a 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe that's still my daily driver with 354K miles on it. I bought a 2015 Hyundai Elantra as a new car for my wife. The head gasket blew at 13K miles. But even before the engine blew, the automatic transmission had already started slipping on hills at around 10K miles. The car had 6 miles on it at delivery. My wife wasn't a lead foot either. I couldn't tell you how many warning citations she's gotten for driving too slow on the freeway (45 when the speed limit is 65). It was a very nice car inside & out, but the mechanical end of it blew *ss. The big selling point for them is cost. You'll pay from $27-30K for a Kia/Hyundai SUV when the same size Chevy, GM, or Buick SUV is going for $40-42K. With interest rates today, a $12-15K difference is big savings both on the monthly payment & over the length of the loan. In 2015, I bought my wife an Elantra & my daughter a Hyundai Accent. Both cars together were just under $30K, which was cheaper than one Chevy Malibu. And their 10-year/100K mile bumper-to-bumper warranty isn't anything to sneeze at either. Last, they're the only cheap automotive maker who still has a line of 4 different tiers of cars while the Big 3 are phasing theirs out. That's why you're seeing more & more of Kia and Hyundai on the road. They're the only ones still listening to what the public wants/needs.

Where I live, tows are a flat $150. So it would be an equal cost whether you fully charged your EV at one of these stations or towed it. And with a tow, you're not adding any wear & tear to your vehicle. What a joke. Toyota finally found out what's nuking their V6 engines in the Land Cruisers & the Lexus SUVs. The main bearing guides were being rough ground, leaving gouges & spurs in the guide channels, and nuking the main bearings in short order. Talk about complete lack of QC.

FEDEX cargo 767-3S2F, 6.2 years old, sounds like a maintenance issue to me. Nose wheel failed . The 737, Pilot was aborting the takeoff when it overran the end of the runway and caught fire. I'm not a Boeing apologist, I just think that the companies and pilots operating these aircraft should be held up for scrutiny as well. It's easy to blame Boeing because their name is on it but Boeing isn't responsible for maintenance. The 737-300 (last produce in 1999) belonged to a charter company, renting it to Air Senegal. Who knows who the pilots were employed by? Every problem that pops up isn't instantly Boeings fault or problem, but the news organizations automatically throw shade in every instance.

-One EV supercharger pushes out 350 kilowatts. The average home uses 1.2 kilowatts. So an EV, while charging, pulls the energy equivalent on 260 homes from the grid.

[@Average--Joe]

So, i drive a ford e250 for storage unit cleanouts and often hual a large trailer. I dont see any electric vehicle that can handle that without stopping every 60 miles to charge.....even if there were chargers, which there aren't. That would be such an incredible pain in the bisuit.

[@andyfreeze4072]

so what suites you is supposed to suite everyone? You would have more credibility if you said the EV you want isnt available yet.

[@living-wellon-less5669]

They aren't firing any workers, all those workers will have the opportunity to transfer to any plant in Canada or if they are US workers the US! Also just because they are stopping production on one model that doesn't mean they won't retool for a different model and the workers could return to the same plant and get a nice paid 6 month to a year vacation, maybe even longer!

I low key want an electric car,but have concerns. Maybe when the streets are absolutely flooded by them.

Couple months ago GM announced they were firing the engineers and employees at their EV assembly plant and moving EV production to Mexico.

The board needs to oust Mary for no confidence and get a real car guy in there...I am sure there are ones that are real Car Guys like Iacocca, Delorean etc, that has much better visions!!! EVs will have their time, just needs to happen naturally... The Chevy/Cadillac dealer here has Hundreds of Bolts and Lyrics on the lot. went with some friends and they kept steering them towards the Lyric.. They finally had to tell the salesman mention them one more time and we leave...They also need to ditch that AFM crap on their V8s...

[@steven4315]

Lyriq is still made in Tennessee, the Ultium Bolt will be made in the Fairfax, KS plant.

Wheels fall off kind of guy. Not playing with dealers and I have 800 credit. They should have treated me better when I was younger . I got behind and they charged me a charge for each late I asked them to give me a break let me catch up they said no so I told them come get your car not playing this game anymore. Since then I was using less new cars. Eventually my credit improved and I kept it up since.

As long as they keep getting bailouts from taxpayers, you are right.

[@daleahrens553]

You are correct... Ford, Gm and Chrysler are the government owned companies for the War machine... as during WW1-WW2 our factories were but with ZERO EPA Admissions which polluted underground rivers, towns and the lands around them for the " WARS " Yet they were allowed to continue until the pollution was exposed and was killing entire populations in each areas of such factories... Then we lost our all our factories, they were paid to be shipped out of the country instead of building new ones in America destroying the economy and our way of life ( wage freezes, office morons that were brainwashed to except 15 dollars an hr, construction died and now here we sit on the Slum lord corporation run America )... I expect a new war to begin within the next 1-10 years and the big 3 will be building new war machines once again with Zero EPA restrictions again and the cycle continues... I study the past to predict the future...

Oakville Ontario is home to a major Ford plant. They did shut down to re-tool with the plan to go all ev but that has been pushed back a couple years already and may not happen. It'll probably end up doing hybrids.

Tesla Model Y owner. Here’s some honest numbers. Tesla charges $0.39 per KWh at Super Chargers. I get about 4 Miles per KWh in my Tesla. To go 30 miles costs about $2.92. Not big savings. The savings is when I charge at home. I pay $0.18 cents per KWh at home. I go 2,000 miles a month and spend $130 extra on my electricity. Gas would probably be 50% more or double depending on mileage. I wouldn’t own any EV other than Tesla. Scotty is Right. Electrify America Chargers at $0.60 per KWh in my area and COST MORE THAN GAS. Any other EV is a joke. Tesla is the only one that’s doing it (sort of) right.

[@Birdwatching754]

My friend has an EV. It broke down and he had a hard time finding a tow truck for it. Took forever to fix.

[@russelldaniels1797]

EVs aren't feasible until they can have quick change battery packs and service bays in every city with lifts and machines to do the swapping and charging. Once they can get recharged and back on the road in 5 minutes, then they might make progress in sales.
