You may have well just set fire to your thousand dollars rather than spend it on a first gen Leaf! No thermal management to keep the battery “healthy”. You realize that the the best charging network standard (Tesla )has been adopted by most auto makers. No need to obsess about the other charging providers, they are going bankrupt. A hybrid is a waste of resources, plus you end up dragging an internal combustion engine (weight) and , if you are like most hybrid owners, don’t even charge your battery( assuming it is a “plug-in” hybrid ). Recent studies have shown that the emissions of hybrids are much higher than people have been led to believe.

I believe full-EV has potential, but regulating ICE and hybrids out of existence is asinine. Government needs to back _way_ down on EV subsidies and ICE regulation, allowing the market more room to drive (pun intended) direction. Fully-electric vehicles make a lot of sense for many urban commuters who mostly drive within range of their homes and use other modes of transportation for non-local travel. But growth should be organic to allow EV technology time for maturation and infrastructure development (charging stations, grid and generation improvements).

@roxximusik8958 Месяц назад

You are so right. This whole issue of EV versus ICE is sure to become even more political, as the CCP -subsidised Chinese manufacturers begin to flood world markets with far cheaper products. So many jobs are at risk in the western auto sector, in almost every aspect of the industry, that calls for greater government intervention will become irresistable.

The grid (generation, transmission, distribution) has NO ABILITY to supply even a fraction of vehicles switching to electric. Just 1 million EVs charging at night (7.2 kW x 1,000,000 = 7,200,000 kW or 7,200 MW). Since solar takes 5 acres/MW, that's 36,000 acres of solar (which produces ZERO MW at night when vehicles will be charging at home). That's also equal to 12 LARGE fossil fuel plants. Again, that's just 1 million vehicles. Now try millions and millions (CA has over 31 million vehicles and that's just one state). IMPOSSIBLE in 2030, 2050 or 2070.
