When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

[BCClone]

I love the idea and I’d love to get on board but I have a family and I couldn’t get any two seat car. When you start getting into more seats the price quickly jumps.

Some days a one seat vehicle would be great.

I can tolerate an Allegiant seat for a couple of hours on an extremely rare occasion to get to/from vacation but I won't do it every day.

My chore pickup is the first one I’ve had with power locks and windows. I am fine with 4WD, prefer automatic, tilt/cruise, and Air. I buy used and finding a basic pickup now that is used is kinda tough.

There's a market, I'll be a little surprised if it's huge though, but maybe.

The older "get off my lawn" guys who like to DIY in their garage, and the younger crowd who really doesn't care much about amenities as long as they can hear their music with AC.

I think for the people really advocating EV's this type of approach is a winner. Like hippie cabbage being a gateway, so could this. Cheap, DIY and an EV?! What's not to love?

Well there's no speakers, but I guess you could throw a JBL Partybox in the passenger seat.

At about the 9:30 mark he says as an option it's wired so one can install a bluetooth speaker in the center console if they chose.

So theres a USB plug or 2.

That's kinda what I see with it. The population of people who really want a completely-featureless vehicle is really small ... The Denalis of the world are cleanly outselling the base models (to non-business buyers, anyway). People like creature comforts and they definitely sell. Commuting is hard enough as-is without making it even more uncomfortable

Yeah my last truck was as barebones as you could get. Not doing that again as bare minimum is now heated seats and steering wheel. Though even some lower trims on vehicles easily include those anymore. The work truck milage and fuel cost being on the company is nice, but miss having the heated/cooled massage seats with heated steering wheel and adaptive cruise on my car.

Personally I always shoot for the middle of the road trim level. I don't need the seats made from Unicorn leather or anything. I want heated front seats and a heated wheel, wireless carplay (or similar). I prefer leather just because it's easier to clean than cloth but it's not something I'll jump up to the top level trim for. I think AC is standard these days but I'll go ahead and put that our there. Anything else if it's there cool but it's not something that really influences my decision between trim levels.

A perfect example of this was the Honda Fit.

Hers was completely loaded for $22k.
Plenty of room for my 6'2 and fat body
Super reliable
Tons of storage
Zippy and fun around town. Easy to drive and park.
Great fuel mileage
Safe
A little loud on the highway

My mother had two of these, and they were amazing vehicles, but they sold like crap in the U.S. and got discontinued.

That's because in the US, we strongly prefer:

I could probably dig up a bunch vids of ICE vehicle fires with doors that won't open or passengers that panic and don't act quickly to get out on their own, too.

Please move on. This discussion died a week ago.

My Tesla is on fire and I can’t open the door. This is my last CF post. Love you guys!

Looks like Chevy is offering some killer deals on the equinox.

Deals

There looks to be one in Ottumwa, brand new, AWD, and just under $30k. $12k off of sticker. CCS charger on a 2026 model is kind of dissapointing.

Can the mods PLEASE remove him from this thread? Again....

I have a 2024 Chevy Traverse, 40,000 miles, pulled into the chevy garage.. Needs a new motor and radiator. "your oil is full of metal shavings".

So when will I buy an electric car...maybe sooner than later

I’m looking at this now, I can’t quite figure out how big it is. What’s a comparable size vehicle? What’s wrong with the CCS?

I want to say it's like Mach-E size, maybe slightly larger?

Slightly bigger than a Rav

Fun fact....Ford calls that a "Large SUV" if I remember right from our purchase agreement.
