Electric Vehicles: General topics

Probably not for everyone… but was surprised on how well it worked for us.

My dad now drives a PHEV kia suv. It’s good mental enrichment for him, seeing how he can manage to avoid the gas engine from turning on.

There have been rumors of BMW going the “range extender” route (i.e. the gas motor is relatively small and used to charge the battery), which makes more sense for my use case.

I just started highschool in 1996...

So I’m “just” 12 years ahead of you.

Yeah… knowing the cities you live and work in a phev makes a ton of sense. If I were still commuting to Palo Alto (where I used to work) I’d go for the same.

Ancient. (At least that is how my kids acts)
