  • OT: An Electric Vehicle Owner Speaks Out

    From Cursitor Doom@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 30 22:22:07 2024
    This EV owner has appealed for his unfortunate experience to be a
    warning to others contemplating buying an electric car. Take heed, and
    learn from his experience if you are wise....

    Dear God. After 10 minutes of babbling without getting to the point, I
    turned him off.

    Why can't he get to the bloody point?

    His message could have been communicated in one or two minutes.

    His message could have been communicated in one or two minutes.

    The key points:

    EVs should be regarded as disposable

    The rate of depreciation is very high.

    The charging infrastructure is very poor and charge times are very
    long

    The car's 'brain' can lock you in or out of the car for no reason

    Replacement battery costs are exorbitant

    Don't buy an EV.
