Yeah it still is. Definitely a downside. You can get small batteries for around $5k now. That’s only 1 year of fuel for me in our large SUV. If batteries last 5-8 years there is still a significant upside. Most just trade cars first.

Friend paid 2500 installed, it failed and was repaired under warranty within a year. It has since failed and is out of warranty so he has a lawn ornament again.

Every time I start up my truck the sound of the diesel engine brings a smile to my face.
Eff EV’s and FJB. |

It’s hilarious to me how emotional people are about EVs/PHEVs…I enjoy saving money driving to work everyday. |

PHEVs really are the best of both worlds, except for the added weight.

I'd rather be spending time outside somewhere versus stuck in an appliance for hours weekly on a overcrowded concrete highway surrounded by angry retards.
YMMV |

Considered a non-plug in hybrid for our play vehicle (wife's commute vehicle) but found a wicked little AMG G45 (GLA) that I'm gonna take a swing at....screw MPGs, this one will be a blast to drive

My diesel truck has not one battery, but two batteries.
From now on, it is going to identify as a PHEV. |

I know what EV is, but I haven't heard of PHEV.
Is is Plug in Hybrid or similar? Honestly I've never seen any EV that I'd like to be seen in, other than the Italian but waaayyyy out of my price point! |
