Overview:

Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Looks great. Let's hope it's not a million dollars like the ID.Buzz.

The number of people who feel that $60,000 is an appropriate amount for a soccer parent car is too fucking high.

it makes no sense. Young families don't have $60,000 to throw around, so it's either a van or junior's college fund.

But, the idea that you need a massive van after having an 8lb baby is pretty stupid.

They have the money if they take out massive PCP loans that leave them with fuck all.

I know people, mostly in their 20s, with larger PCP loan payments than my mortgage.

In a few years they get a new car and the loan probably gets a bit bigger because the salesman talks them into being able to afford another £100/month by now.

I'm pretty sure they're the opposite of stoned, and even more confident that correcting that would do them a world of good. For one, they'd make better choices in vehicles than this bullshit.

Oh. You meant that as an example of working class life. Sorry, I'm happily baked. 😄

I’m not sure you read my comment completely correctly, but I still like the cut of your jib.
