I am probably going to trade in my car for an EV this year. I have been following the technology for a while but I really do no not like all the touchscreen nonsense.

Do you like your EV? What is it? What are the pros and cons of your experience?

The Ford MachE and the Subaru Solterra are at the top of my list but I like the KIA too.

    Ford Mach E? I’m assuming US. Get one that charges with NACS it’s unfortunately the standard.

    Get the Kia EV6 if you can afford the 2025 one. Charges faster and has amazing range.

    All new cars have the same problems. Mediocre interiors for the price, spyware, and rent seeking behavior for stuff like automated highway driving.

    But you can’t beat being able to charge from solar. I don’t know anyone brewing biodiesel that hasn’t switched to solar and EV.

      Ok. It’s radically better than the giant CCS2 connector. I get that it was pioneered by a Nazi but do you realize how much was pioneered by Nazi scientists?

      100%. It sucks, the prices are insane. Ours was insane. And those issues apply to all new cars, regardless of fuel.
