You sure it’s not $0.036? That seems excessively high.

If that’s actually what you’re paying, I’d seriously consider getting solar to offset the costs.

They’re not imaginary. They just write him bigger checks than his constituents.

I bought my 2023 Bolt EUV used still with the manufacturer warranty for $15.5k. Not cheap, but certainly not insanely high either.

As for charger, most people don’t need more than a standard wall outlet provides at 115V 12 amps. I charge mine on a 230V plug at 24 amps, which most people can accomplish easily with even an existing 100 amp service panel.

Absolutely

I don’t get it. I live in Texas and even with the brain dead $300 registration fee tacked on for EVs and the significantly cheaper gas prices compared to the rest of the US, it’s still multiple factors of cheaper to drive an EV.

I bought a 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV. Even with excessive use charges from the electric company and the $300 annual registration spread out over 12 months, I spend around 1/3 to 1/2 of what my Prius cost in gas I had before this vehicle. And that was a PRIUS. I’m also not counting maintenance/repair items that only apply to a gas vehicle, like the head gasket it blew up, or the oil changes, or the coil pack that died in it…

I used 375 kWh last month charging. My electric rate is $0.075 per kWh until I use more than 400 kWh in a month. Then it goes to $0.096. Even assuming that all of my charging was at the higher rate, that’s $61 for the entire month of driving, if I break out the $300 annual fee across all 12 months. To drive the same ~1500 in my Prius V that got 38MPG on average between city and highway (according to the dash), that cost around $162 per month. And that’s in Texas, where gas is $3.25 a gallon right now. This is essentially worst case scenario for an EV, given all of the things against it, and it’s still barely above 1/3 of the cost.

Imagine someone coming from a fully gas SUV, in a state where gas is more expensive, where the registration fee isn’t 3x of the income of gas taxes, etc. It would blow that person’s mind that, instead of paying $50-60 per fill up one to two times a week, they could drive an EV for that much FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH.

Not even good slop. One of the dudes has two fucking arms on one side.

Proton is a lost cause. Their leadership are Trump ball garglers. I was looking at an alternative to completely replace Google and ended up choosing someone else because of their bullshit.

I have some ideas

Yeah fuck this guy for comparing us to antimaskers. We have actual REASONS why AI is bad. People who were antimask were just fucking stupid.

Could? Sure.

Would? Absolutely not.

Assuming the little asshole doesn’t bite you, go for it.

Thems fightin’ words

Colom has a ~3500 vote lead at 97%. I cannot believe that MS might be in play.

I’ll take what we can get. It’s been 32 years since a Democrat had a shot in this state.

Lol they might lose the Mississippi Senate race. Fucking MISSISSIPPI. That plus Georgia and Texas? Holy shit the GOP fucked up badly. 😂

Mississippi was marked “Safe R” with a 9 point margin, which was even more “safe” for them than Texas. That is absolutely insane.

Thank you for your service. As someone who lived for a bit near Seattle, much love.

There are dozens of us. Dozens.

And we just want to hug you and chat over tea.

Hey Lemmy: No more making fun of my state anymore. We’re blue now. We finally fucking did it. Lol.

It’s been called for Talarico. And Abbot has lost to Gina. Texas is going HARD blue tonight.
