My wife has a 2015 leaf... The 2013 she had met an unfortunate end. About 36,000 mi. Battery is about 85% I think. Brake fluid change every 12,000 mi, a couple of 12-volt batteries, and it's hard on windshield wipers. That's it. She loves it.

Is anybody actually replacing their batteries except under warranty? And for a new, higher end EV that I would only charge to 80%, 95% of the time, how long do we expect that battery to maintain at least 85% of original capacity?

I think the decision about whether to do level 2 on highways, like Ford and GM offered, will be a tough strategic decision. It doesn't fit the off-road brand image, and those extra sensors come at a price. But the truth is probably that 90% of miles will be driven on highways. By 2027, I'm...

You can build a 500 mile vehicle today... just not at the price and weight we want. But I get your point. I think a consideration is also what happens with the price of recharging at public stations. Currently it is clearly priced at a slight discount to gasoline. If I have a home 50 amp/240V...

I suspect Georgia will make us get it checked just to "own the libs".

Yeah, flat fold is a requirement for me, unless they go back to the Scout II bench that flipped up against the front buckets.

Not talking truck. Traveler. Smash and grab is the problem. And anything inside the cabin to defeat it has to be a permanent thing, which then gets in the way when you want that space for other things.

First car the I didn't share with my sister was a 71 Scout II small block with a 3-speed (I think). Then had a 73 4-speed with small block, and then finally bought a 79 345 automatic with the lux interior, which I had completely restored (changed the color to an awesome Porche pewter) in 1987...

If you live in a city, lockable storage out of eyesight is critical.

Or at least a decent guess. They said it would fit a golf bag... how long is a modern driver?
