For the math wizzes, just like an ICE the harder you press the go pedal the more you burn. There were a few runs with some spirited driving.
Imagine the ICE with spirited runs and getting such great gas mileage.I know what the Hellcat does as you start to have some fun for long periods of time. The more I press that right pedal the quicker the little gauge which goes to "E" heads in that direction. The Hummer actually gets better mileage in city driving than highway. I won't bore you with the science behind that either. I'll pay the .09 cents a KW over the $3.42 a gallon premium. In 686 miles of driving, I spent $37 in electrical charging. To compare the two vehicles: Hellcat approximately $120 for a months of driving, Hummer $37, no oil changes, no transmission oil changes, no antifreeze to change, no radiator hoses, heater hoses or fuel lines to worry about. EV's are not perfect but if the world thought like most of you on this forum, we would still be using slide rules and steam locomotives. Like I've said before, I'm not trying to convince anyone to purchase an EV, keep and ICE or pedal you bike around. Keep an open mind, take a little trip in and EV, they are a different ride. |

And really, more toxic and environment-unfriendly than ICE vehicles. Your EV Hummer has a carbon footprint many times the footprint of my 3 1960's GTO's and '61 Corvette. What's to crow about? |

I want to know when Chevy or an aftermarket off roading company will make an extra battery in the shape of a Jerry can, to mount on the back, along with the farm jack. When you're running low, just stop, plug in the spare battery 'can' in and get some more range.
A truck with a 50gal nurse tank in the back can take you probably 1,500 miles, if you're not pulling a trailer. |

No more worries about malfunctioning ccs chargers. Tesla chargers rarely ever break. I can get a Model Y RWD in stock for $38500.. I get $1000 off as I'm a Cybertruck reservation holder. Her i3 should bring $10k and there is a $7500 tax credit. Car would cost me $24k or so.. I can come up with the cash, so I wouldn't need a loan. |

Why not buy her a GT40 with a bundle of snakes exhaust and a rowdy side oiler?

$7,500 tax credit to buy an EV is absolute bullshit. The only thing worse is bragging about taking a government handout to help buy an EV when you’re a high earner. Taking from the poor to give to the rich.

I used to feel that way too, but watching our government lavish gibs on the illegal hordes that are conquering our country without even firing that many shots, why shouldn't he get some gibs that he can afford to get?
