No One Wants Used EVs, Making New Ones a Tougher Sell Too

[Weatherman2020]

it will say in 10 years I saved $6,000 on fuel ignoring the fact his batteries no longer hold charge.

I saved hundreds of hours of my time by filling up my car at a gas pump rather than sitting in a long line so I could spend an hour recharging my car.

They used to have rest stops along 280/101 North between SJ & SF area. They had to shut them down as they became home O hook up spots in the bathrooms and the bushes outside or in parked cars..

So I doubt they are going to install free Hi-amperage charger cables into those spots (bringing back the rumpranger).

I came very close to buying a used Lexus 450H from a friend because of the cost of replacing the battery (particularly from Lexu$). But, in hindsight, I should have done it. The car was in absolutely immaculate condition and relatively low miles and I could have had it and a new battery for under $20K. I hadn't been shopping at that point but ended up paying more than twice that for a new hybrid Sienna that's quite nice, but isn't a Lexus 450H.

In most cases the battery cost is damn near the price of a new vehicle.

Centuries of burning natural gas would drive AGW to catastrophic levels.

The sky is not falling Drama Queen.

What next? We must eat steamed broccoli (no sauce) twice a day and show proof to GOVT or have our miles cut down to 10 per week?

Steamed broccoli is really good for you. Season the dickens out of it.

 

[Weatherman2020]

You seem familiar with it. Why don't you tell us about it?

There you go again, diarrhea of the mouth about AGW with no way to combat it that works!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

That why everyone proclaiming doom lives in mansions (complete with gas stoves), flies private jets and drives in huge SUV’s?

Don't forget their beach front properties.

Yes, eat lots of it and then complain you have kidney stones!

All I need to know about battery powered cars is that people who have proven themselves to be our mortal enemies over many long decades are trying to force us to buy these cars. And refuse to use them themselves.

Pro tip- no one really wants new EVs, they just want to virtue signal.

No One Wants Used EVs, Making New Ones a Tougher Sell Too

(Bloomberg) -- The shift away from cars with dirty combustion engines is running into a new hurdle: Drivers don’t want to buy used electric vehicles, and that’s undermining the market for new ones, too.Most Read from BloombergHyperloop One to Shut Down After Failing to Reinvent TransitTencent...

The USMB rules contain an enjoinder that suggests you not tell people to just look stuff up when they ask you a question because this is a discussion board where we are intended to learn from each other. But when you asked me what happened in Glacier Bay, it was a purely rhetorical inquiry. You already knew the answer to your question. You were not seeking information but to inconvenience me and humble me with what you thought I would find.

And, of course, note that the results were not what you had hoped. The behavior of the Glacier Bay glacier does exactly nothing to refute AGW. YOU should have known that in the first place. If Santa has been reading all our posts, I suggest it is YOU who found a science textbook under your christmas tree.

I would also note that Glacier Bay has zero to do with this thread's topic.

Glacier Bay completely refutes your mythical manmade climate change.

Science involves requiring observations matching theory.

HAHAHAHAAAhahahaaahaaahaaaa....God are you stupid.

Science involves requiring observations matching theory.

It also involves a higher degree of knowledge, critical reasoning and basic understanding than you apparently bring to the table.
