I’m not a big Jag fan mind you but another company moving away from ICE all together is interesting. I believe Audi cancelled the R8 in favor of an EV version and the next Dodge Charger Hellcat supposedly will be an EV as well.
My wife’s EV is pretty nice, but so far every EV I’ve driven has been discovered from the road. Like a moving couch instead of a driving experience. Hopefully we’ll get some real enthusiast grade sports cards out of this.
What do y’all think?
My electric car’s payment (Nissan Leaf) is less than I spent per month on gas for my Acura RDX (which got about 24mpg - surely better than a 68 Galaxie). The change in my electric bill is noise compared to weather variations. The car really feels like driving for free. I am in Texas, so electricity is cheap (unreliable, but cheap) to the point where solar panels don’t make financial sense. Our temperature is regularly over 100F in the summer (only 100F today), the air conditioner in the car does as well as the Acura’s.
The Leaf is our preferred car for virtually every trip. We drive our ICE on long trips or rent. The cost savings alone justify the Leaf. The environmental and noise savings are just gravy.
