    I want a car to be a car with a real engine, with those awesome engine revving sounds, with some gears and a clutch. Not a boring car like an iPhone.

    We're considering a Nissan leaf between years 2013 or 2015. It would be a difference on a 99 Chevy Astro. It's true when it comes to traveling it would be iffy on the leaf, but seeing how we currently are we only do in town driving here in PHX AZ and maybe 2 times a year (about every 6 months) to visit my parents up in Prescott, which is about 80miles away, how would someone charge when other places do not have charging stations? There are currently 309 charging stations within 30 miles of were we live. Another question is, we live in an apartment. How would we charge normally? I'd assume take it out to charge at night at one of the stations every few days? Or maybe take it to charge at my fiances mom's because she has a house. Yeah the downside is charging time but I'm wondering if it's a good time/money investment? The ones we're looking at for next year are around 7,000$ used, not too bad for our budget. Thanks for the video btw 🙂

    THE BATTERIES ONLY LAST 80K THEN A NEW BATTERY WILL COST OVER 10K COMPARED TO A USED ENGINE WITH 100K FOR $500 , ELECTRIC CARS ARE THE MOST OVER HYPED TECHNOLOGY !!!!

    Quite easy to rebuild your combustion car to Electric these days. If you got some basic know how. Check out EVwest. They got everything to plug in an electric motor to your trans and go. Well not for all but many cars. Myself I'll just build my own trans adaptor.

    As more people buy electric cars the incentives to own them start to go away as the price of electricity will increase dramatically. Think about this, your house only uses about 5000 watts when everything is turned on.
    5000 watts is only 6.5HP. Cars typically use about 100HP to move you down the highway.
    This means that if everyone switched to electric cars that electricity would become so expensive that we would start building generators to burn the surplus gasoline and diesel fuels just to keep up with the demand on the grid. The price of coal would rise so high that we would be mining coal everywhere.
    There would be rolling blackouts because it takes years to build on to the electric grid as more substations, powerlines, and power plants would be needed.

    Tesla Model S used is $40k and up. When used Tesla model 3's become available they will be a bargain.

    A huge problem with electric cars that no one ever mentions is that the batteries die after so many charge cycles. It progressively looses range the more times you recharge until you have to buy a new battery. Just like your flashlight batteries, batteries are expensive.
    Cost a new battery for your electric car, and the come back to me and tell me how cheap electricity is. And for those enviornmenatalists, lets break down the chemicals in those batteries and how to safely dispose of them. Not to mention the chemical processes to manufacture them in the first place.
