Ahh, OK , my mistake, i thought the Leaf had sold (500+ k) over the tax credit limit , but of course the tax credit is only for US sales (165k), !Warren said:Hillhater said:Ok then,.. call it a tax credit if you prefer !
But the question is the same....why on some but not all ?
Because the tax credit is only good for a manufacturer's first 200,000 plug-in cars. Tesla lost that first, then GM, mostly from Volt sales. Nissan will be next, but may still get a few Ariya SUV sales before they run out.
Genuinely, As long as your electrical cable was rated for it you could just run an extension if you felt okay doing that. A 110v is only pulling 12 amps at most by design.RTLSHIP said:How do you charge up from an apartment or condo when the car is 100 ft away? Or do you just go to a charge station?
By the way if you can get a tax credit, it is done through your federal tax return. I don't know about state or local incentives.

https://electrek.co/2019/02/08/evgo-switches-charging-prices/Let’s do the math on charging real quick. Say you are charging at 30kW for 2 hours to fill up your Chevy Bolt. That’s going to cost you $.30 * 120 = $36. That’s not a bad price but it ends up being about $.60/ kWh which is about triple the local energy rates...

But public charge stations can be VERY expensive !

Hows the space inside the Bolt for people 6'2" and what about rear seating space and cargo space in the frunk or trunk or wherever it is.

It seems your glowing enthusiasm for EVs , has blinded you to the fact that the most popular passenger ICEs are SUVs..!ZeroEm said:......My Ev is great to sit in. Think the ICE machines are cutting space to get the weight down. EV's are adding space. .......
Again maybe you have not noticed...not every SUV is a V8 Hemi..ZeroEm said:Popular for whom? I'm single no family. But you are right the SUV's are everywhere 10-20 mpg. They are singing the blues.

.....mine does 40+ mpg without trying to save fuel. ( it is not uncommon to get 50+ mpg on a steady highway run)
And “Maybe” you just need more experience ?speedmd said:Nothing sold in the USA comes close to your claims in my experience. Maybe a few tiny ones with a pedal artist can get close. Maybe with a tail wind and no hills!

What's the mileage lifespan of the typical battery on an electric car?
Here is one on region - cooling from green car rep...Figure 6 illustrates dynamic stress tests (DST) reflecting capacity loss when cycling Li-ion at various charge and discharge bandwidths. The largest capacity loss occurs when discharging a fully charged Li-ion to 25 percent SoC (black); the loss would be higher if fully discharged. Cycling between 85 and 25 percent (green) provides a longer service life than charging to 100 percent and discharging to 50 percent (dark blue). The smallest capacity loss is attained by charging Li-ion to 75 percent and discharging to 65 percent. This, however, does not fully utilize the battery. High voltages and exposure to elevated temperature is said to degrade the battery quicker than cycling under normal condition. (Nissan Leaf case)
