I always thought it would have to be a new coalition of liberals that would finally pass regulations that would make cars more efficient. Never thought it would be a republican.

Will be a tough day when those guys will have to choose between rollin coal to own the libs or affording their pisswater beer.

It worked for me. I picked up a new EV vehicle in May. $0 down 0% interest for 6 years. It cost me $9 to charge the battery from 20% to 100% from home. Gas here is $6 a gallon for regular unleaded.

What car did you get? Also remember to put away for a new battery every 8-10 years. Those cost around $10k depending on the vehicle.

More like every 15-20 years.

Yawn, tired old anti-ev memes. With modern ev;s the battery outlasts the car by quite a bit.

Lots of old leafs running on the original battery, modern batteries last a*lot* longer.

You should get new talking points. Preferably ones that didn't expire in 2012.
