We've had three Bolt EVs since 2017. Loved each one of them, they are the most practical "in town" car ever. A blast to drive, tiny to park, lots of useable space. They're just great. Unless you get one with a battery that *might* burn to the ground while parked under a condo building without warning. It's a tiny fraction of the cars that have the problem, but there's no way to figure out which ones will burn. Of course, you'll feel better after the tech at your dealership swaps out the battery in your $40k EV with a new and improved battery.



Today, our main cars are a Camaro and a Corolla Cross. Why? Charging on a road trip, in the southeast, while much faster today than it was four years ago, is still too slow. It also requires planning from station to station. Gas doesn't.



My father has and loves Teslas. The driving experience is simply magical. But, one got hit and sat for MONTHS waiting on 1) parts, 2) someone qualified to repair it. Not many people can absorb that.


I believe we will all have EVs, and we will all love them, eventually. But those of us into muscle will keep collecting gas burners, and enjoying them.
