The “EV winter” is overrated. When the cheaper compacts start flowing in, sales will pick up again. Mini has a decent one coming to the US, The Bolt starts production again at the end of 2024, and VW is talking about shipping a cheaper smaller ID.2 as well.

For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Thank god. The huge car thing is fucking awful. My Prius is too big.
Yeah, all the EVs being SUVs and or nor having the most common chargers are my reasons to not look to replace yet. I have a 2015 Leaf with honestly terrible range, but it's in range of most things I do.
I really want an electric Honda Fit.
I imagine also people would wait for the new chargers from non-Tesla EVs. What were legacy manufacturers thinking, announcing such a significant change over a year in advance? Who would want to spend that much money on something that will be obsolete so quickly?
If I didn’t already have an EV, I know I’d wait
Gotta hold onto this 2013 Mazda 3 with 60k miles until EVs standardize a bit and charging becomes more mainstream everywhere. I just want a compact hatchaback EV for IKEA and short road trips.
question: in shopping center parking lots and parking garages there are EV chargers, how much do people pay to charge their vehicles there?
Depends on how fast the charger is.
One or two dollars overnight at home on a standard 120v outlet for 80 miles back in the “tank” depending on where you live. If you install a 240v charger at home, it charges twice as fast.
Couple of bucks for 2 hours of 240v charging at ikea. This gets you like twenty miles or so back.
Ten to fifteen dollars for 30 minutes of DC fast charging to fill up completely from near empty at EVGo fast charger.
