I'm going back to buying 1970's vehicles. Fuck that shit.
The more I see these western EVs, the more shit like that Chinese EV Dolphin seem like great choices
At this point if I have an EV I am just going to do a conversion myself. Ill buy a battery out of a wrecked EV, rip out the ICE stuff and strap it all in on my own.
I don't want all of their tracking shit anyway. There is a guy with a youtube channel doing exactly this with a battery out of a scraped LEAF. Apparently junk yards are scared of them and will sell them cheap. You have to buy the whole thing and pull the battery yourself though. Something I am willing and able to do.
If I didn't love my truck, I'd consider an EV. I only use it for my short commute anyway. Most EVs are AWD by default because of the way the motors work so besides the bed and ability to tow, neither of which I really use, I wouldn't be missing anything
My current vehicle is a over 20 year old truck. It does everything I want with no issues. I don't see a point in getting a EV. If I get one, like I said, I would probably just convert something myself.
