5 Reasons To Buy An Electric Car. Driving the 2016 Nissan Leaf, I discuss the many benefits of driving an electric vehicle. The instant torque and peak torque ...
+Y2KvidsI think you might have a point there. Assuming the replacement costs of a electric battery arent astronomical and frequent (just look at the battery life of an average mobile phone).If the charge and range was reasonable (and initial purchase costs vs conventional cars) I might consider.One last thing to take into account, if government are raising billions in tax with fuel, there is no way they will stop the flow of income if everyone switched to electric. Therefore electricity would become expensive so in terms of costs we would be back to square one.
If you dislike you won't buy but I think Results would be happier after 300000 miles. No damages to engine(how long does electric motors last eg vaccum cleaners, washing machines) not fuel change costs, brakes work fine, no damages to transmission, no fuel cost, no emissions (Hello diesel), 50% less wear , 8 years of battery warranty, replacing would be like a brand new car in terms of range,electric bills are way less than gas NMW.
5 Reasons not to buy a Nissan Leaf electric car:
1. Cost to buy the car ($30,000+ AFTER Federal and State government
subsidized tax right off on the purchase).
2. Sucky range ( 60-100 miles depending on the trim level and your your
lead foot).
3. The necessary use of the wimpy electrical heater and external lights in
the Winter in the Snowbelt (also Summer A/C).
4. Higher household electrical bills to replenish the battery (there is no
such thing as a free lunch).
5. This car and all electric plugin cars that suck off the juice of the
national power grid are really COAL BURNERS (72% of the USA electrical grid
is supplied by King Coal).
+George Travers My state is 60% renewable energy. Regardless, it costs about 3 cents a mile to drive a typical electric car. That is a lost less than a fossil fuel one. For 90% of Americans, that range is plenty. Sadly, most people are actually within a 20-30 min bike ride of work and drive a car at all (kinda dumb). But all the same, many are under 25 miles from work, over half. That is not 100 miles a day. Plus in when you are home and good the next day. No rocket science. Rent something for rare long trips and still save a bundle.
