With a good roll out (starting at 52) my Accent hits 60 in 2.5 seconds!

think you need another AMC..., with another built 360 or maybe even a Warmed Over 401

Just saw this

Sand hill climbing

Not going to try that with mine

That does not track with my Y Performance because of How I use it.

99% charge at home @ 12 cents a KWH

...
... under 5 cents a mile not counting the wall connector.

No fair to bring real evidence into this discussion!

Fuddy has a point if you only do long distance and supercharge only.

But
I have to believe most EV buyers charge at home as much as humanly possible.

I wonder what Gale's numbers are, since he does a lot more road trips than me. Has quite a few more miles rolled up as well.

No backstory mentioned. Took the kids once before the floor cave in because it was near Beech Bend Park.

Very true.
Our AEP rate (as of now)= 12.4c/kWh
Electric motors are way more efficient than IC engines.
What's complicated is high initial cost factoring in battery life and operating cost vs lower gas car initial cost factoring in oil changes and fuel costs as well as tire price difference. Very complicated, especially without using researc...I mean "word salad".
It all boils down to needs & wants.
An inexpensive EV adding 30-40 miles charged overnight may not be a bad grocery getter added to the mix. EV manufacturers should consider that. 150 hp or so fine for daily jaunts which means longer range as well.
