It was cheap for the driver, but not for the company that bought it, so they sold them as they were not abel to make the money they normally doand the real life data starts coming in… for hertz is just not a good financial decision to have an EV.. people should take note
My Mate, put a 308 in a 244.When I was young, I drove a 244 GL Volvo. That thing was built tougher than a T72 tank. No one dared cut me off 'cause they knew their vehicle wouldn't survive.
not saying as it will give him up.What Brand?
My Volvo was poo brown coloured. I managed to get it doing fishies on a hill without noticing the police. I stopped and looked at the police and they were pissing themselves laughing, then they just drove off.Those old Volvos had alot of torque , they beat dick Johnson’s falcon in a race in the 90s. Also very safe cars
Well you did it safely in a Swedish performance vehicle lolMy Volvo was poo brown coloured. I managed to get it doing fishies on a hill without noticing the police. I stopped and looked at the police and they were pissing themselves laughing, then they just drove off.
Part of the reason is the need for crumple zones, where the car body collapses to absorb the impact.these days a light hailstorm will decimate a new car. Panels not much thicker than tin foil. Older cars can take a bit of a beating. Need proper big hail to hurt them.
with EV being so heavy they gotta try save weight somewhere, so pressure to fit even thinner metals that maybe even a hose would dent
As a Volvo driver, and one with an impeccable driving record, I noticed the aggressive nature of drivers whenever they saw the car.When I was a kid, my mates and I had the following checklist for the worst possible drivers that needed to be avoided. I apologise to anyone who is offended by this, remember we were just kids.
1. A woman
2. Asian
3. Wearing a hat
4. Driving a Volvo
I wasn’t aggressive CH i just kept away!! LolAs a Volvo driver, and one with an impeccable driving record, I noticed the aggressive nature of drivers whenever they saw the car.
It's a bit like the argument about sheep - sheep are not stupid, they just make you look stupid.
Volvos tended to bring out agitation from drivers around them, confirming the drivers' bias. They couldn't see that they were the problem.
I enjoyed the space around me. Much safer.I wasn’t aggressive CH i just kept away!! Lol
I live to give!I enjoyed the space around me. Much safer.
people see through an EV.. (most people do). Threads turn into car enthusiast talk because people are passionate about cars and enjoy them… you can’t enjoy a EV with no noise, no gearbox, no driver engagement, plus all the inconvenience and added cost they offer..Always turns into a car enthusiast thread, recently re activated a VS SS but my V6 ute is quicker, SS needs a cam.
Off Topic, but i did a huge burnout in my old Cortina, cabin was full of smoke, and a Cop drove past me, then after about 100 metres, he saw the smoke from the burnout and turned around, i was lonmg gone by then, but i was packing it.My Volvo was poo brown coloured.

Maybe they could borrow an idea from the now defunct Milwaukee Railroad, which had an electric loco as yard shunter at their Avery yard.will cops ever get EV in their fleet? They would konk out every half hour how hard the cops thrash em. Imagine cops sitting there for 3 hours waiting to charge lol
