You mean the know it all experts who never leave the comfort of their bubble?
guys like @Doogie etc they come and go... they get debunked and then disappear like a virgin on prom night...ghosts!! but the truth remains stable, reliable, solid like good infrastructure... there is a petrol station on every corner for petrol cars with good range, there are charging stations few and far between for EV cars that have poor range
The osborne effect delivers the a 1-2 punch!
In my experience most of them have solar systems and home batteries, Tesla batteries of course, they are almost guaranteed Tesla fan bois. They have no problem charging their Model 3/Y, just plug it in when they get home. That’s what my neighbour with the Model Y did in the 5 hour black out we had a month ago. My other neighbour with the Leaf actually powered up his house, no blackout for him, he would have been OK for around 3 days if it went longer.
I wouldn’t be driving a car that has had no maintenance in 40000kms.
Making hydrogen, the way most hydrogen is made now, is one of the dirtiest processes on the planet.
SS needs a turbocharger.
The EV motor is all contained in one unit, so no maintenance is needed, of course you need to check brakes steering etc, but if you use Re-Gen braking then you will hardly use your brakes so less wear on the pads.
how Many times would he have charged that battery for 40,000km… battery would be on the way out.. degradation
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, needs to be replaced every 2 years. Cabin air filter same, ditto HEPA filter, A/C desiccant bag, etc just because they have an electric motor doesn't mean no maintenance.
Doesn't matter, brakes need servicing even if brake pads don't need replacing. FWIW the BYD is probably the worst EV for one pedal driving.
EV's are only quieter than ICEV's when accelerating and even then up to around 60 kph, much over that the tyre, road and wind noise drowns out the ICE anyway. Try it with a noise meter, I won $100 off a Tesla owner when his Model Y was 3db louder at 90 kph than one of my twin turbos.
Your neighbour uses an electric mower.
I just chuckle and scoff and shake my head as he struggles, sweating like a pig with this limp wristed electric mower whilst my petrol monster tears up whatever is in its path.. sometimes proven technology just works. Why fiddle with it
Apparently Hyundai were approached about that, and they said that it was a dodgy dealer trying to make money.
a second person came forward with an invoice for the same work from another dealer, and it was around $60k as well.
I've a Honda HUR216 and EGO.
