Silly question but I assume you can plug in then have a preset stop at 70%? Then you can just unplug when you leave.
When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

Those that have an EV I want to expand on this. Can your Tesla/Rivian/etc show your remotely your charging info? Like is there an app to view?
Yes. We have a Volvo but yes, the app will show how much charge the car has left.
I follow this thread not because I have a EV but to keep up on it. I have 2 moderately priced ICE vehicles then in a decade hopefully when I replace them, I'll know more about my options.
Same with me. I like the looks of Teslas but doubt that will be what we choose when we eventually get an EV. I do wish they had a model that was like the X or Y but with a straight line back for a larger cargo area. I understand that's not aerodynamic, I would just like that space like most SUVs that size do.
Interesting comment, especially as it relates to comments made by the leadership at Toyota, perhaps the previous discussions on political gamesmanship actually DO play a role?
Why Toyota – the world's largest automaker – isn't all-in on electric vehicles
Toyota doesn't believe battery-electric vehicles are the only solution to producing more sustainable vehicles and achieving carbon neutrality.

For our Ford EV I can check charge progress, get range estimates, remote start, pre-condition, see the vehicles location on a map, or check tire pressure on the app. I can also manually stop a current charging session or set it to stop at a certain percentage every time. I have ours stop at 95% unless we a planning a road trip, 70% seems really low but I'm not familiar with Rivians. On the Mach-E forum I'm on, the really battery longevity conscious seem to set it between 80% to 90%.
Hijacking this for a moment just to talk about the Ford app being pretty slick even for their ICE vehicles. Can do all of the same things with Kenny just described, except for EV related stuff (obviously). Also see software updates, oil life, etc.
Ok, carry on.
Yes. I have owned Teslas in the past and currently have a Ford Mach E and a Rivian. For all three you can do it from the app. All of them have a cellular connection so it doesn’t matter where they are. I’d say the Tesla app was better but you can get the functionality on all of them
Is that a monthly subscriptions, or is it included with the cost of the vehicle? I’m fighting the losing battle of avoiding subscriptions for these sort of things.
Yes, it’s all done through the car info or the app. It’s very easy and intuitive.
A few of the screens/options on the app
SIAP, but thought this is worth the read.
Is it cheaper to refuel your EV battery or gas tank? We did the math in all 50 states.
I'm pretty shocked Iowa isn't dead last or close to it with the ethanol subsidies.
Would have never guessed they are in the middle.
Some of those states toward bottom must have really bad electricity rates.
Iowa already adds a tax for EV's to pay for roads. It's way more than I paid when I had a gas car. But I save $1700 a year by driving an EV, and it's infinitely more fun to drive.
I pay about an extra hundred bucks a year on my plates for having a PHEV which I'm guessing is my state's offset. Not sure if EV is the same or more. It does make sense because I'm sure my gas tax was radically reduced. I can't even remember if there was an extra tax at purchase or lease.
$100/year is worth it for the car pool lane pass though.
I pay $3.20 to fill my Rivian from 0-100, which I never need to do.
It’s FAR cheaper than fuel.
