The torque off the start is so much higher in EVs vs. ICE. I'm not sure from u/blindbunny 's post if they've ridden an EV motorcyle. I'm pretty sure they haven't owned one. They sound like an ICE shill. My bicycle's torque off the start is pretty low, and dependent on this old school "neuro-musculo-skeletal" system. It's kinda jankety, but I'm too cheap to upgrade.

Fair. I've been comparing ICE vs EV cars wrt tire wear. And some folks, depending on driving style, find that the tires wear faster on EVs. Slow off the line should moderate that.

And over time power density in batteries has increased. So far.

People just won't stop telling you this, it seems. ;-)

There is that! I've been thinking of marketing exterior sound systems, that go Brum BRum, for EVs. Do you think it would help?

Thing is that pound of gas is gone, that pound of battery is still there and ready for recharge.

We have a food delivery company in town, and they use electric cars. I got to talk to the owners a few years back, and they were paying around that price. So I suspect it's getting close to fitting your needs. How far do you drive each day, on average?

It all depends on where you live, of course, and how far you are willing to look for that car. And you might want to poke around on Edmunds.com, if only to satisfy your curiosity. Like others have said, and I would agree, it's getting close to your criteria - 90+ miles, $6K for a used. I suspect that there will be a whole lot more used EVs on the market over the next 5 years. All the 'cool kids' want to buy the latest, bleeding edge tech. And watching and waiting to get that tech seems like a prudent and viable option. The other thing the guy with the delivery biz said was that he was getting his cars from CA, because he could find them used, cheap, relatively good condition. Anyway, best to ya. I'm out.

I've been wanting to make a root cellar/ beer cave for years. This looks great!

Let's ponder this. Say for the purpose of discussion that this number (1265) is a fraction of the total that would support no matter what. So lets think population curves, can we infer 10X (12,650) or even 100X supporters (120,650), or even 1000X (1,206,500). According to (https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/registered-voters-by-party) there are 210,000,000 registered voters. Simple math tells us this is approximately 0.57% of the voting populace. What is with the tyranny of the minority? They aren't the "Silent Majority", but rather The Vocal Minority. Why do we care? Get you and your friends, family, colleagues, neighbors to the polls. The GOP minority hates this one simple trick, VOTE.

Not thin air, just people committed enough to trump to get convicted. It's a round figure guestimate, for the purpose of discussion, as I said, Mate. You got a better number, heck you got a worse number, throw it out there, and we'll talk about it. Or, as you've already demonstrated, you aren't interested in talking about it. All good, either way, with me, Mate.
