[QUOTE="snow1, post: 295440, member: 7725"] What we don't hear from these manufacturer's or the media is the hit these EV vehicles take in the winter,couple folks I know purchased a chevy Bolt last summer as GM was pushing hard to sell these shit boxes,they were told 285 mile range on a full charge,$16k discount off sticker price, $160/mo lease they told me...cheap for a grocery getter and no maintenance ,so last winter during our sub zero cold snap I asked them "how things working out",electric heater draws bukoo amps,cold snaps 40% of battery life(that's 100 miles). plenty of charging stations around our larger cities if one pulls up the charging station maps,but right now forget about long trips unless you lolly gag along to get from point A TO B,lot's of 30 minute stops to fuel up along the way.Curious if these vehicles will have any value after several years? I've seen pic's of china's EV bone yards,EV cars stacked up like cord wood,then the batteries,can't recycle several $1000's of $ to replace after 8 years,then what more environmental waste. [/QUOTE]
