@dangoodin The only vehicles I hear that outclasses the #Tesla sometimes is the #Rivian. #MKBHD has spoken very highly over them in his AutoFocus channel. If you like traditional vehicles, a #PHEV wouldn't be a terrible choice either. But generally the #Tesla is a pretty safe bet, which makes sense considering that it's become the normie #EV car.
Den Reifendruck von 2,5 auf 3,0 bar zu erhöhen war ne gute Idee. Noch geringerer Verbrauch. 
EU battery electric vehicle sales see a January jump, driven by Germany.
Hybrid-electric vehicle registrations also increased in the EU in January, mainly because of robust French performance. However, plug-in hybrid electric vehicle registrations lagged behind.

We loved it on our test drive but were concerned about its low reliability rating with #consumerreports .
As best we could tell, it's still apparently having ICCU and 12 volt failures, occasionally with long waits for parts, despite several recalls in the past few years.
Would have loved to get one but we went with a more reliable #toyota #RAV4 #PHEV for the next 3 years.
We didn't look at #Tesla because we're not fascists.
#Ford's electric #MachE outsold the gas-powered Mustang for the first time in #2024
"Every Ford #EV model set a new sales record in 2024 with double-digit growth," with Ford's total U.S. #electricvehicle sales jumping to 97,865, an increase of 34.8% from 2023.
In 2024, Ford sold nearly 285,300 ” electrified ” vehicles, including electric vehicles (EV), #hybrids (HEV), and plug-in hybrids (#PHEV), more than GM and Stellantis.

Verbrauchsabrechnung für 2 Jahre Ford Kuga PHEV
Nach 27.245 km: Benzin, Strom, CO2-Ausstoß. Mit Vergleichsrechnung zu reinem Benziner-Kuga. Spoiler: Elektro schlägt Verbrenner – und es macht Spaß.

I’ve wondered about #PHEV as a technology. I’ve never owned one, but anecdotally a lot of people seem to do all they can to avoid activating the ICE engine. So they’re effectively driving a very short-range EV with a useless 500 lb ICE engine. Is that really a good way to go?
A long time ago I owned an early hybrid (not PHEV): a 7th gen Honda Civic Hybrid. Regular hybrids still make logical sense to me…for some reason. I just wonder about PHEV.

We used to be leaders in EV new car sales!
Heres the Q3 2024 sales numbers for #EVs defined as #BEV or #PHEV
#BC 24.9%
#Quebec 34.6%
(#Ontario 9.5% a no incentive policy position)
Quebec has a$7K rebate ( added to the federal $5K). BCs incentive is income based and dissapears with a living wage household.
But Quebec’s rebate drops to $4K January 1st. Buy now!!
Also, both BC & QC have #ZEVmandates that attract EV inventory

This is basically what's happening around the world. "EVs" mean hybrids or PHEVs. BEVs are not selling. They have hit a sales plateau, and are declining in sales in many countries.

I think many upcoming trucks and SUVs will adopt PHEV designs. Pure BEV solutions will be seen as a mistake.
Toyota #RAV4 Prime Changes its Name to RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid for Model Year 2025
"When the 18.5kWh lithium-ion battery pack runs low, the vehicle will automatically utilize the engine and regenerative braking while driving to recharge it, or it can be plugged in for a full recharge."

Or you can take this as a sign that BEVs are a bad idea. Any other kind of EV, such as PHEVs or FCEVs, are a smarter solution for this problem. We should not try to sledgehammer a niche solution for all cars.

A big sign that without subsidies, it is hybrids that are the big winner. BEV sales tanked in that scenario.
Bugatti, makers of the fastest production car on Earth, has built a #PHEV.

#WhyWeCannotHaveNiceThings - Just got a #PHEV and pulled into a Park & Ride garage. I noticed it had about a dozen charging stations and thought I’d give one a try.
While attempting to figure out how to use it I noticed that its cable was missing, as were all of the other stations’. Someone looking to score a few $$ at a scrap yard destroyed this community resource in a few minutes.
If I’d been down to my last few watts of juice on a pure #EV I’d have been screwed.
