The Real Costs of Electric Car Ownership - CNET

Who today is using engine braking? Most peoples eyes would glaze over if you asked them to define the phrase…

i DO. Every time I drive. I'll pop the seltos into manual mode, drop a "gear" and use engine braking down hill.

Remember when they told you to charge your electric car at night during off peak hours so you could reduce demand on the grid, pay a lower price per kW hr and have a vehicle charged up for your morning commute? Forget all that. You should wait to charge your EV in the morning after you get to work. If you have the range to actually get there.

I kind of figured this would happen once EV ownership reached a certain critical mass.

California is so messed up. They never seem to think anything through. They just virtue signal through legislation.

Gas tax? You arent paying enough to drive on our roads because you arent buying enough gas, electric car owners.
So moving forward, Hybrids pay an extra $75 in registration fees for hybrids, $300 for plug in electric cars. (per year)

It's $150 a year right now in IN.

My numbers are the new ones for next year. And instead of going up every couple years, the increases are every year now.

Can't wait. The monster must be fed!

So the state subsides purchases of EVs, up to $7500, and then bleeds it back in the form of a gas tax. Probably should just end the subsidies. Maybe raise the road tax to $225/year to be fair.

Indiana has no EV subsidy. The Feds do on some EVs.

I saw what I think was a Tesla truck out in the wild today, charging at the Beech Grove Walmart.
That thing is the size of an H1.

Was it as ugly in real life as I’d seen on the internet?

Made me look. What I saw was the Hummer.

That Tesla, I need eye bleach.

Earlier this week I saw a Rivian truck in the parking lot at work. First I'd seen of those.

They should add a battery recycling fee to the cost of every car and make the last owner prove the battery was removed safely and recycled or pay an additional fine starting at the original cost of the vehicle.

Ten years from now they'll be talking about needing a new tax for that

Indiana has that registration fee on Hybrids already. Has had for years. Interesting, though. My wife's hybrid does not get "order of magnitude" better gas mileage than my Subaru Outback.

WEF admits EV’s are not enough to achieve their goals.

“Moreover, WEF stated that switching to electric vehicles isn’t enough to achieve these benefits. People need to combine it with more use of shared transport and changes to how our cities are designed. This means making cities more compact and easier to get around by walking or biking, and prioritizing public and shared transport.”

Klaus Schwab's WEF Sets Authoritarian Goal: Limit 76% of Private Cars by 2050 | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hᴏft

In a push to counter the so-called ‘climate change,’ the globalist World Economic Forum (WEF), under the leadership of its founder and Executive Chairman, Klaus Schwab, has proposed a comprehensive plan aiming to limit 76% of private cars by the year 2050.
