What are you going to switch to out of curiosity? Are you going back to ICE?
- LeoPanthera 4y agoI haven't made a final decision. I'm considering the Mercedes EQS, although it is very expensive. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the Kia EV6 are very appealing for their extremely high charge rates, although they are a little smaller than I would prefer.
- sanp 4y agoHow about a Mach-e?
- LeoPanthera 4y agoI test drove one and hated the UI. Plus I've had bad experiences with Ford dealers in the past. 150kW charging is OK, but "only OK" these days. Even my 2-year-old Tesla can charge at 250kW when the battery is low. A lot of people do like it though!
- jcadam 4y agoI had a Honda Clarity for a couple years - it was a great city car and I'll admit fun to drive with the instant torque of the electric motor. But then I moved to a rural area so I sold it and bought an F-150 :)

- 93po 4y agoMercedes that cheated on emissions in a huge scandal that cost them billions in fines? Whose CEO was indicted for man slaughter? Hyundai, who lied about MPG and had to pay hundred of millions in fines? Whose chairman was arrested and convicted for bribery and embezzlement and had to spend several years in prison and fined over a billion dollars? Kia, who had severe issues with engine fires that they failed to recall, and only became public after a whistleblower told them? That had to pay over $100 million in fines? That caused over 5000 fires and 158 injuries and several deaths? Where are your standards for the leadership for these other companies?
- jliptzin 4y agoWasn’t it Volkswagen that cheated on the emissions? People love to talk about their morals and not giving money to support things they see as evil but when push comes to shove and it’s time to make a purchase, 99% just throw that out the window. I mean people are still dancing to Michael Jackson’s music at their weddings.
- LeoPanthera 4y agoYou seem to think that the behavior of the CEO is the primary reason for me selling my car, and it's not.
- 93po 4y agoI was only thinking there was some substance to your grandstanding about corporate responsibility or choosing to make purchasing decisions based the ethics of where your money is going, which it is clear now that there wasn't.
