Mini Hardtop Cooper SE $31,895 114 miles.
Fiat 500e $34,095 149 miles.
Nissan Leaf $29,135 149 miles.In terms of overall value, and I recognize that’s subjective, but in terms of how much range you get for the price you pay, I was surprised to see how competitive Tesla was:
Fisker Ocean $41,437 360 $115/mile
Hyundai Kona Electric $34,050 261 $130/mile
Tesla Model Y $44,630 330 $135/mile
Tesla Model 3 $40,630 272 $149/mileThe standard Tesla went down in price-ish. That and everything went up in price.
Used electric has also went down quite a bit from last year. Its better but still not at the level the average consumer can take advantage of.
I’m hearing from a lot of owners that range isn’t as big a deal they initially thought it was. Many say that they never drove 200 miles on a charge during their ownership of rhe EV. I’m sure that’s very context dependent, but it got me thinking about why I’d need 300 miles on a charge and I’m not sure if I have a good answer.
Because all of my cars have had at least 300 miles on a tank of gas. :) I regularly visit a town 120 miles away, if I can’t get there and back on one charge, there’s no point.
That’s certainly relevant context for wanting more range, but even with 80% degradation of a battery originally rated for a 240 mile range, you wouldn’t need to spend much time charging at the intermediate destination before returning home to make the round trip with plenty of range to spare in each direction.
But I get it, people who regularly drive longer distances will want more range, that makes sense. My original pount is that many people don’t and they could be paying a lot more for what they’re not actually using. This is especially true for families with multiple vehicles.
$60k for a Chevy Blazer. 😂 get real. Costs more than a Lexus EV.
Also they’re claiming $80k for a Cybertruck but they’re only selling the $100k version now. It also doesn’t have the range listed which is strange because these are already on the road.
It’s pitiful that we don’t get the VW ID.3 in the US or the Kia Soul EV. I also don’t see the Buzz listed — is it still not shipping?
Completely agree. I threw the article here to get some conversation going, since it seems to be the same players quite often posting. Its crazy both the price and lack of depth these articles have…
