We drive our electric vehicle a lot.

California Governor Newsom to propose clean vehicle rebate if Trump cuts EV tax credit California Governor Gavin Newsom will propose a new version of the state's discontinued Clean Vehicle Rebate Project if the incoming Donald Trump administration scraps the federal tax credit for electric-vehicle purchases, his office said on Monday.

I don’t disagree considering the 215 mile trim costs $36k which I think is too much for what you’re getting. But Nissan has sold about 60,000 Leafs in the United States over the past 5 years. With EV’s regularly reaching 300,000 miles nowadays, those Leafs will be on the road for quite some time

It would only be confusing in the sense that some EV’s like the Nissan Leaf have 50 kW peak charging while others like the Lucid Air have 350 kW peak charging. Meaning they’ll be able to go vastly different distances over 12 hours. But wouldn’t consumers want to know that up front?

I really want manufacturers to include how far an electric vehicle can drive in 12 hours alongside how far it can drive on a single charge.

For example, my Tesla Model X can drive 218 miles on a single charge but it can drive 650 miles in 12 hours with charging.

We need this change in verbiage!

This major US city wants to ban new gas stations Sacramento is the latest city proposing to ban new gas stations or upgrading existing stations, unless you’re adding EV charging.

Super exciting! 15 cities in California plus additional cities in Tennessee and Colorado have bans in place on the building of new gasoline stations. This is great!

These aren’t small cities either. They include Sacramento, Los Angeles and Memphis Tennessee.

It’s amazing that we have EV’s like the Hyundai Ioniq 6 achieving 4.54 mi/kWh in the city and Lucid Air getting 4.15 mi/kWh on the highway.

The efficiency Hyundai and Lucid have been able to squeeze out of these models is a feat of engineering all around. 👏

On several occasions this past year, we drove 800 miles in 15 hours using our electric vehicle that has 230,000 miles still on the original battery. This despite its relatively short 220 mile range.

Range between charging 2 stations means nothing. It’s about how many miles you can drive in 15 hours

Our electric vehicle energy consumption the last 9 years of driving:

2015-2020: 40,000 kWh
2021: 24,000 kWh
2022: 23,000 kWh
2023: 14,000 kWh

We’ve used 101,000 kWh to drive our electric vehicles over the past 9 years.

We’ve saved 11,000 gallons of gasoline from being burned into the air.

I should note that we bought our Tesla before we knew just how crazy Musk is. We really need one of those nifty bumper stickers.

The most miles we’ve ever driven our electric vehicle in a single month was 10,300 miles. We ended up driving just over 65,000 that year. We’re not Uber or Lyft drivers. We just like really long electric vehicle road trips with the dog and kiddos.

A little about myself. I’m a network engineer who’s also obsessed with electric vehicles. We typically drive our electrics vehicles between 55k and 65k miles per year. We have two EV’s right now. One with 60k miles and another with 223k miles.

Feel free to ask me anything about EV’s.
