Do the buyers of EVs care about Elon Musk’s petulant behavior? Or are they still enthralled with his pioneering EVs?
Our first EV, a 2017 Nissan Leaf, taught us we loved driving an all electric car, but the Leaf’s range was too short (135 miles). Our second EV, a 2018 Chevy Bolt, confirmed long range road trips were possible, but we wanted a faster fast charging rate. With our third EV, the Mustang described in the title, we’ve found our best fit EV (short of an electric AWD pickup truck or true SUV). The short story – while it’s not the perfect car for us, it’s nice enough that we won’t mind waiting until the perfect EV SUV at the right price point comes to market.
Colorado now has 726 fast-chargers operational, and thousands of regular public charging stations.
Buying a used EV raises questions about the condition of the battery; a new startup is addressing this need with big data.
