4$ per gallon that's approximately 1$ per litre.
I hope it will at least double for you so you know what it's like to pay for petrol in Europe..
I hope it will at least double to shock the system into prioritizing clean energy.
That's lovely idea but I don't have even money to buy a newly made car. Where I'm supposed to get money for significantly more expensive (price and repair coat) and unreliable electric car? Now I can repair my car on my own cause it's old and easy, also easy to refill. Electric cars is not the way. Also it's not that green as everybody thinks..
Electric cars will become cheaper and hit the used car market once they become more common.
There already is a used market. Old evs with ranges between 75 and 100 miles can be had for less than $10k. For any homeowners already driving 2 cars, using one of these for daily commutes and local errands makes a lot of sense.
I'm sorry but I don't want used ev. Battery will be degraded and buying new one is like buying a new cheap petrol car. If you don't buy new one, you'll have a shity range, which is already shity and heavily exaggerated by manufacturers, especially in high and low temps which are for example in Europe where I live almost 50% time of whole year. There is no infrastructure to charge ev cars and it's decades away from being build, especially in my country.
If evs should be reality it has to have range at least 600km in worst temp scenario while being able to charge fully in 15 mins tops.
And even than I wouldn't want it. I wanna have car which I can easily repair myself, without electrical shenanigans and bulshit like changing whole fcking light instead of just bulb, or having to ask to access software of my car, jeez..
I don't want my car to have displays instead of buttons. I don't even understand how that can be legal, when you obviously don't watch the road to adjust fcking air conditioning. Or that stupid hold the line function which has car in my work. You can't even turn that shit off and it steers instead of you. When I overtake a cyclists it's a living nightmare and not talking about state of roads which have like multiples lines over and the cars is fcked.
I'm 29 and I don't want to have over-electroniseid everything..
Which country is that?
Just the other day I got a taxi trip in a Tesla, with a guy showing photos of how he'd gone from Spain to Ukraine with a bunch of other Tesla taxi drivers to bring back some refugees. That sounds like he could get a recharge, across most of Europe?
