Dealers put huge mark ups on ev’s. People aren’t going to jump at that. There is still a 1 year waiting list on the ev6 in Canada. I’ve heard of them being on dealer lots in the US but they are way more expensive. $73,000.00 CDN taxes in here for the then top of the line model. I’m not sure there is a feature that isn’t on this vehicle. I went for the extra warranty so I’m fully covered 160,000k 8 years. I hope the anti ev crowd aren’t full of shit and my battery dies in 6 years. The replacement battery will get 4 times the range in 5 years.

Look how many lies the anti ev people believe. The batteries die all the time and the cars are useless, they catch fire all the time, they are useless the winter. Truth is that they work really well. How many mpg would a vehicle that can go 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doorider Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 My car does under 4 seconds and I average 27 mpg. Last long road trip I averages 36 mpg with the cruise set at 80. I also only paid 32k for it 5 years ago. 340 BMW for the win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of us here are quite mobil , so easy to think otherwise. Yet there are plenty of people who never go more then 50 miles from their home. Had a kid yrs ago working for me.

My S6 averages just under 30 at 80-85. It has averaged above. Of course if I take it off cruise and punch it a few times that goes down FAST.
