It all depends on where you live, of course, and how far you are willing to look for that car. And you might want to poke around on Edmunds.com, if only to satisfy your curiosity. Like others have said, and I would agree, it’s getting close to your criteria - 90+ miles, $6K for a used. I suspect that there will be a whole lot more used EVs on the market over the next 5 years. All the ‘cool kids’ want to buy the latest, bleeding edge tech. And watching and waiting to get that tech seems like a prudent and viable option. The other thing the guy with the delivery biz said was that he was getting his cars from CA, because he could find them used, cheap, relatively good condition. Anyway, best to ya. I’m out.
Nicely turned!
We have a food delivery company in town, and they use electric cars. I got to talk to the owners a few years back, and they were paying around that price. So I suspect it’s getting close to fitting your needs. How far do you drive each day, on average?
Thing is that pound of gas is gone, that pound of battery is still there and ready for recharge.
There is that! I’ve been thinking of marketing exterior sound systems, that go Brum BRum, for EVs. Do you think it would help?
You betcha BB! Have a great day!
And over time power density in batteries has increased. So far.

People just won’t stop telling you this, it seems. ;-)
Fair. I’ve been comparing ICE vs EV cars wrt tire wear. And some folks, depending on driving style, find that the tires wear faster on EVs. Slow off the line should moderate that.
The torque off the start is so much higher in EVs vs. ICE. I’m not sure from u/blindbunny 's post if they’ve ridden an EV motorcyle. I’m pretty sure they haven’t owned one. They sound like an ICE shill. My bicycle’s torque off the start is pretty low, and dependent on this old school “neuro-musculo-skeletal” system. It’s kinda jankety, but I’m too cheap to upgrade.
Agreed! And yeah, still down, I just checked.
Dude’s a superhero, and needn’t be a ‘lone ranger’. Agreed. As the Fediverse expands, it will be the work of many; it just has to be that way.
MBIN FTW. KBIN has been “We are working on resolving the issues” for some days now. I hope Ernest is ok.
I have a login for lemmy.ml, as I have several from when I was switching over from Reddit. I’m thinking from what I’m reading here, that it’s not an instance I want to associate with.
Both Georgia the country, and Georgia the state of the United States are located on planet Earth. I wanted to make clarification to save people trouble. Is that not ok, with you?
Sheldon Adelson’s widow. yeah, this all makes way too much sense. Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient in 2018, from #45. The wikipedia pic of her shows #45 solemnly placing the medal around her neck.
Yes, but that’s another discussion entirely. And it’s why they are so much fun to hang with. Little Five Points FTW!!
Opting out is easy. Come to Pixelfed, they sure as hell aren’t IG.
Georgia, the country. Not that it’s any better that this bill became law.
You mispelled 42 minutes of doomscrolling. ;-)
Anyone got a non-YT link? Or just the recipe? Something? TY in advance!!!
