I bought a Chevy Bolt EUV in July of 2023, and it's great car for my use case (long distance commuter, sharing a garage with 3 gas cars). I was surprised to learn lenders were not interested in underwriting a loan, despite me putting 33% down. Ended up getting 7.14% for 72 months (paid off early). That was the very best rate I could get, despite good credit and indicating my preference for very short duration. Insurance premiums almost as much as an Audi twice the price. FWIW, for as well as the car fits my needs, I'd never recommend an EV to someone as an only car. Based on my ownership experience, PHEVs are the path forward... offering owners the flexibility of very inexpensive electric-only commuting in town, and the assurance of being able to quickly refuel at gas stations on longer trips.

I think the lease deals on some EVs are pretty sweet, you get a lot of value for the monthly price. Even Rivian are leasing for 800-900 with 0 down, and these are luxury full size SUVs. You can score a model 3 for less what a Civic or Corolla leases for. Leasing is not for anyone, but if it's for you EVs are really enticing. Specially if your electric company has a EV charging contract, mine installer a charger and it's unlimited for $30 a month.

The 3 row crossover is seriously under-represented by EV. Acura’s ZDX doesn’t offer the 3rd row of the MDX. Volvo’s 3 row hasn’t hit lots here. Cadillac Vistiq hasn’t arrived yet. Right now you have few to choose from: Kia EV9, the expensive and quirky Tesla Model X… I think part of the reason why EV sales are down is because this is an underserved segment. I see plenty of people buying three row GM/GMC/Chevrolet/Ford/Jeep/etc and I think if there were more segments being filled by EV perhaps sales would be a little bit better.

Lucky Once again you’ve proven that negativity is what sells not being fair and balanced. Here’s the reality of the situation our electric cards for everybody know our internal combustion engines, more efficient, and more reliable than they’ve ever been in the past. However, that being said there is a case that for a lot of people, Evie’s makes sense as they are generally less maintenance the people that shred through tires those people are going to shred through tires on an ice car or an electric vehicle it’s all in how you drive. If you’re living in a area that has a lot of chargers or do you have an access to home charging then it might work out for you in some cases insurance actually goes down. I’m a 43 year-old male male who currently has a Honda who is transitioning to a Volkswagen ID4 and my insurance is actually going to go down same if I got a Volvo electric car my insurance would go down. It really is dependent on your situation if you live in a rural area or don’t have access to easy charging, then no electric cars are probably not for you at least not right now however, there’s going to become a time when oil is simply not going to be available, but what happen in our lifetime probably not But we have to get out in front on our next technology. Otherwise, if we continue to live in the past and never innovated, we would still have the horse and carriage as our main form of transportation. Obviously electric vehicles are not in your wheelhouse and that’s fine but to make a blank statement that nobody wants EV’s is just a fallacy they are selling and like anything else there’s always going to be ebs and flows. Reality is the consumer needs to do what’s best for them in their situation. Do your research test drive both types of cars and whatever you think fits for you and after you crunch your numbers, what you feel is best for your pocketbook go for it don’t worry about everybody else and do what you think is best for you control what you can control.

@@twystedhumour so what are your car payments for these two vehicles?

[@MikeyG003]

Eh that’s why I just buy my cars cash, don’t gotta worry about no banks and what they feel like financing

A woman on a motorcycle just got hit & run by a tesla truck. Shes in the hospital now. Probably didn't hear it.

[@nataliemarie1483]

How about a tax credit to people who work over 40 hrs a week and are salaried!?! Just a thought. 🤔

[@underachievingwatchcollect1878]

I hate EV’s more than Disco 🕺 music!!

[@Gonzo_Bubb]

I'd be wiling to buy one, they're just out of my price range new, and I'm afraid to get a used one. What if the battery dies?

[@l0k]

I believe regulation is 8 years of manufacturer warranty on the battery. We have a 2018 BMW i3 with a bit over 80k miles and there's no big difference from day 1.

[@stephkent2736]

What if the motor dies in your Honda? I mean, the battery warranty is good for 100k and you can see what the degradation is like with the onboard software. In many ways, the “maintenance” done in the battery and life left is a lot more visible in an EV that a random 10 year old used car.

[@Gonzo_Bubb]

@@stephkent2736 You have a point, it could happen. I buy my vehicles with 100k on them already, usually. and I choose cars with engines that are known for being reliable.

[@stephkent2736]

@@Gonzo_Bubb and when it comes to reliability it’s going to be (A) whose motors last 200-300K (B) will people keep around a city car with 85% range for errands and similar and (C) what will happen to any car after it goes EOL (end of life) from its vendor? VW says it will support Android auto for the life of vehicle (15 years). What is going to happen at that point with 2022-2023 vehicles with AA in the vehicle, and what will the market be for any car that is effectively and iPhone 7 waiting to get compromised like a Windows XP machine today? People laugh about the “time bomb” of EV batteries. I’m FAR more worried about Android Auto and its long term ramifications.

[@Gonzo_Bubb]

@@stephkent2736 lol well I haven't gotten a car that new yet, but it will be interesting to see what happens with the AA thing.

[@WhipzByBlue]

Interesting... 🤔

I'll stick to my 2007 subie .... At least until I can get a f-150/ silverado/ tacoma.

Will there be another Cash for Clunkers deal gonna happen?

If EV tech was improving as quick as Elon claimed it would ten years ago, we would all have a small fleet of autonomous taxis each netting us 80k/yr.

I work a lot around deleashp and I notice alot of them offer their own financial with 3 4 % rate with them I am in Texas btw

EVs are cellphones with wheels they update and can be hacked also they depreciate like a phone.

I rented an EV Mustang with 600 miles for $19 a day through Budget

[@JesusGarcia-en3pj]

Hey, I have a question real quick. Is Turbo pass safe to input your data for income verification for a small dealership? I just wanna know if anyone else’s experience. I look up anything about them on KZbin and KZbin only spits out videos by Turbo pass and there is no comments because they are flagged as kids videos so that automatically lights up a red flag on me.

[@nancymilawski1048]

I'm looking for a good price on a hybrid but they don't have enough choice on hybrid engines.

[@LuckyLopez777]

[@bobleonard790]

Your videos focus only on the US, but the auto industry is global. China is the world's largest auto market and 50% of new car sales there are now EV's or plug-in hybrids (up from 6% in 2020). China is also the world's largest car exporter, and more affordable Chinese-made EV's are now showing up in many places around the world. The US government currently uses prohibitive tariffs to prevent Americans from being able to buy them, but it's only a matter of time until that changes.

[@thunderbird3694]

Glad I always pay cash for my vehicles! If I can't afford to pay cash then I can't afford it

[@lutor3k]

In China EVs are already 45% on new cars… chinese brands are rapidly gaining share outside the us. The us is inside their own resonance chamber

[@michaelputnam2532]

The ultimate price of EVs is almost a non-issue. Even free they still have the same issues. Takes more than just a few minutes to charge. Doesn't go as far as an ICE until between "fill ups". You never really know when you'll get that bolt, rock, or other object into the battery case at just the right angle and the clock starts ticking on the battery. Fix any or all of these issues and the value of all existing EVs drops to nothing. And even then, the grid doesn't have enough juice to cover a full EV transition.

[@thorsrensen3162]

In my area in denmark people are buying EV all the time. Model 3 is way cheaper than everything else.

[@lulop022882]

Texas is bigger than Denmark. Imagine the size of USA versus Denmark. Thats why EV aren’t popular in the US except with city dwelling virtual signaling hippies.

[@litchips]

EV is to lease IMO. Under $300 Honda Prologue. Let someone else worry about depreciation.
