Maybe. Probably not. With a large region of the US losing power during a cold blast because TVA couldn't keep up across multiple power distribution areas, I wouldn't expect to see people jumping in on that bargain. When you need it, your electric car will be significantly less useful in a crisis. States are also beginning to raise registration fees significantly to make up for the lack of gas tax revenue.
- kshacker 4y agoI am in California and I know California wants to sunset gasoline cars, but when I started looking recently, I was just unable to commit to an all electric SUV and settled for hybrid (if it were available), and I think that may be a decent compromise for many. There are regular hybrids and there are plug in hybrids and between them you get a range of options that reduce the charm of going full electric.
- falcolas 4y agoI want to do this. But I'm not in California (or NY - i.e. CARB regulation states) and thus our local dealerships neither receive plug-in hybrids, nor can/will they service plug-in hybrids if I go to one of those states to buy one. It's really frustrating.
