I agree with you fully here. Probably why I have a 500e for commute and a '95 F-250PSD for when I need a truck.

So efficiency is what you care about?
The only thing capitalism actually tries to do efficiently is make more profits.
Eventually nobody.
Capitalism isn’t about sustainability, it’s about making the most amount of profit in the shortest amount of time.
Eventuall you bleed everyone dry and nobody has a job. But for a short amount of time the shareholders will have had a huge number of 0’s and 1’s in a database somewhere equating to their “worth”
I’d bet the conversion companies could almost as easily convert the phev Pacifica as the gas only Pacifica.
Agreed, most people don’t really know how far an ev goes on a kWh. In my experience: Trucks average 15-20mpg. Evs average 2.5-4mi/kWh.
Let’s take the high of the truck and the low of the ev for comparisons. 8.32/20=0.42/mile gasoline 0.42/2.5=0.17/mile electric
In my case both are cheaper as my fuel is~$4.30/gal, and the car I drive gets 38mpg. (0.11/mile) But also my electricity is 0.12/kWh and my electric car gets average 4mi/kWh. (0.03/mile)
Obviously sabotage.
He weaseled his way into the company and changed an engineers documents without them noticing, causing them to over rate the motor controller…
Or just an over current, which could be as simple as surge when connecting due to a discharged capacitor.
You do understand how much energy (and therefore pollution) it takes to launch any significant mass above the karman line, right?
Not anymore.
Paid for is just the ability to use said thing for another month.
A good rule of thumb is to look just below the side mirrors. The average height person seated correctly will see the stop line appear just below the side mirrors when the front bumper is at the line.
Easy way to know with yourself in your own car is to park right at the line, then sit in the drivers seat and compare where the line is in relation to the mirrors when seated normally.
True, but have you considered the fact that they are “free” and beat the commies? /s
