I've been thinking for a decade+ that my current gas powered car was to be my last, but quality EVs (and the infrastructure needed) just never fully caught on. 2021-2022 might finally be the year based on the influx of new models already rolling out or are scheduled to be. There's certainly more charging stations now that 10 years ago, too.
Lol, of course money is the wall between me and this (well, and possibly availability):
Will soon see the reveal.
It was "confirmed" that there is a performance variant in the work with Albert Bieman that will get 0-60 in less than 3.5s .
I agree. I'm resigned to the fact that my Stinger will be my last combustion engine vehicle. And if there are credible rumors of an EV Stinger by the time I'm ready to purchase, I may decide to lease instead until it's ready.I am going to miss the sound of a roaring exhaust lmfao!
I think Kia building an EV that can do 0-60 in 3.5 is very realistic... but it depends on if there is a serious market for it...
The more EV's in the market the better though... makes the price of EV cars more affordable since it reduces the chance of certain brands creating a monopoly...
Realistically... My Stinger is probably the last combustion based vehicle I am going to be driving... I plan to keep it for ten years while under warranty then sell it... by then I will be in my mid/late 30's and probably buying a none-hybrid or none-electric vehicle brand new will be either impossible or illegal in the USA...

Then how will you "sell" yours?I am going to miss the sound of a roaring exhaust lmfao!

This is about what we know of the shape so far by merging 2 teaser imagesHere's the Ioniq 5 for comparison. I'd expect it to have roughly the same shape.
2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Revealed With Concept Look, Ultra-Fast Charging
Hyundai has unveiled the Ioniq 5 in production form with a dual-motor AWD version that hits 62 mph in 5.2 seconds and offers nearly 300 miles of range.
I said "brand new" so what I meant was people could sell buy/sell their used cars... but I feel that the law will eliminate new vehicles... the used market will still have combustion-based cars... like how we have classics being sold today...Then how will you "sell" yours?
I guess the silver-lining is perhaps it will make certain supercars I want to own more affordable in the future... one of my dream cars has been the Gallardo... 1st or 2nd generation doesn't matter... seeing one of those for the first time at 16 is what made me start getting into cars... it sounds silly but seeing one of those drive by the bus I was taking to work sparked motivation for me to push myself to "someday" drive something cool and fast...
Unlikely. There is a huge problem right now dealing with extraction and processing of rare earth metals. Unless the West gets super chummy with China, and opens up Greenland and other areas to extraction those targets are going to be improbable to hit.I said "brand new" so what I meant was people could sell buy/sell their used cars... but I feel that the law will eliminate new vehicles... the used market will still have combustion-based cars... like how we have classics being sold today...
My prediction, and it breaks my heart, is sometime in 2030 something all new vehicles from the factory will be either hybrid or electric... but the used market will still have combustion based vehicles...
