Your personal purchase price of RAV4 Hybrid is irrelevant to this thread topic discussion. The topic of the thread is that very few EVs now...
It is true that for the same price car, lease will be less monthly payment. This is one big reason a person lease an expensive car that is too...
For a same price of car, lease or finance, the total price you pay to own a car is roughly the same if one buys out the car at the end of lease...
For a closed end lease with preset buy option price, the lessor (i.e lease company) takes the risk of depriciation. So with 50% capitalized cost...
It depends on the lease-end buy option. If you pay 50% of MSRP during your 3 yr term and at the end, you are given option to buy the vehicle for a...
For Toyota lease deals, money applies directly from TFS as capitalized cost reduction. I would not sign lease deal that does not spell our all the...
In current market, if I want a new EV (BEV or PHEV) that is not on the list, I would just lease it. bZ4X $7500, RAV4 Prime $6500, and Prius Prime...
Yes, more I think about it, a beat-up old full size pickup at near the end of its life is what I should buy. I put down a deposit to reserve the...
Yeah, but my needs are being able to haul lumbers and boards from a local lumber yard and bags of feeds and bales of straws from a feed store....
Yeah, for the same reason we don't see street legal Kei truck here. But... I may go for this $2,000 made-in-China BEV mini-truck. I don't think it...
My hypothetical pickup is for a long haul. Yes, it is possible that I may sell it later, but the assumption is I will drive it ~2kmiles/yr for the...
Race may be over. But as long as ICE vehicle still runs, it continues to emit. Less miles on ICE and longer miles on BEV will further reduce the...
Well, $25k BEV pickup is just a hypothetical car. Even if we stretch our imagination and I can buy a used BEV pickup for that price, my logic...
Except in some special use case as I outlined in my hypothetical annual 2k miles pickup. Buying a BEV in my scenario would put more emissions overall.
I thought about it, but I have decided that is not practical. Most of the hauling is farming- and construction-related and involves driving on...
Is your % for each mode, the number of travel counted? This means a 1-mile walk is counted as one travel, just as a 100-mile drive. I am sure if...
To be clear, I am not disputing any of study results. I am simply saying that I have a doubt that buying a BEV over ICE have a significant impact...
Yep, that is a separate issue. But as with over population, it is at the root of the problem. Buying a BEV over PHEV or ICE is not going to solve...
The lifespan of an EV also have to include mineral mining, battery disposal and/or recycling. While there maybe some studies indicating that one...
I honestly don't think the BEV is much (if any) greener than HEV or pure ICE. Yes, less emission at tail pipe but the total carbon footprint may...
