Re: Dodge going Electric
My dad is rolling over in his grave. He worked at the GM plant in Flint, MI for 24 years before Jimmy Carter destroyed the auto industry. I’m fortunate that I was born in the 60’s. The future of the automobile sucks.

Re: Dodge going Electric
That is a good question, How are they the governments' going to pay for the road systems, bridges whatnots. Gas taxes generate lots of cash what is going to replace these taxes. Tom

Re: Dodge going Electric
Mileage fee, here in Calif. they are experimenting with gps system to charge you by the mile and time of day for road usage. It will just become another screwed up Calif. system.

Re: Dodge going Electric
I drive a 1992 Geo Metro with 308K miles on it and counting. 56-58 MPG and it never gets less than 50. I'm good.

Re: Dodge going Electric
Washington and Oregon are experimenting with road use taxes as well, biggest hurdle I see is building the infrastructure to support all the charging stations. California already has rolling brownouts during peak season so not sure if more nuclear power is the answer, all kind of alternatives in discussion but for sure plenty of tax dollars spent as they take the inevitable 2 steps forward followed by 1-3 steps back. The Ford F-150 with the Pro Power options (all the way up to a 7.2kW output!) is an interesting twist at keeping gas powered vehicles viable. I’m currently considering picking up an electric car just in case world events and/or the current political climate continues unabated.

Re: Dodge going Electric
Tesla Model S Plaid Plus
Range 520 miles Quickest 0-60 mph and 1/4 mile acceleration of any production car ever 0-60 mph: <1.99s 1/4 mile: <9.0s Top Speed 200 mph 1,100+ horsepower Three high performance motors Carbon-sleeved rotors Torque vectoring The only rub is that prices start at about $135,000, however you can spend a lot more and not be as fast. |
