Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

I finally got a ride in my first EV. Buddy has a lightning. In a perfect world, 500km range. More typically just over 400 km. If pulling a trailer, 200 km (ouch). He mostly likes it. Gas savings are roughly equal to truck payment (it replaced an ICE F150). He is hopeful that the new hybrid lightning is competent with a trailer.
Oh man! That would be an awesome replacement for the Maverick if I could justify flipping cars again.

Although wife’s odyssey is getting up in kms…..🧐
 
I think wingboy is learning from macdoc and not quoting. I suspect he is talking about the bike.

My buddy bought the lightning new and it was just over the six figure line.

Article was taken from ADVRider.I assume the number was usd. Convert to cdn+taxes+pdi, freight.
The only thing i have ever learned from the ex cdn,is that he likes red.
 
Where would you like to buy a Verge? :sneaky:
Would be the lithium version but that also gets 200 km range and charges quickly.

While SSB's may get there, I will be shocked if it's in your driving/riding lifetime.
My dad was driving legally until he was 95 and my mom made 97 some loony.
I'd not be surprised to see an SSB in Australia in 2027 as BYD is well established

Otd price of the Verge is probably about $45,000cdn. Lol
Just for kicks I went onto AutoTrader...the cheapest F150L is $38k with 145k on the clock:


Brand new F150L base price is 63k...let's even assume that can be discounted 10k...that's 53k +++++++

Unfortunately way too expensive for me to even consider it at this stage.

In all honesty even with all the Elon BS...if it came down to replace the Maverick on an emergency basis I'd even consider a Model 3 LR. Buddy of mine bought one (after a minor accident) for 21k with 90k on the clock...he absolutely loves it (and hates Elon at the same time).

Quebec market is typically cheaper. If you’re willing to do the tax/paperwork/rebuilt title dance I would always start there.

Yup. A lot of the cars coming to the ON market are by dealers bringing in stock from QC.

Most of the people I know that bought used EVs were bought here in Ontario, brought in from QC.

Only person I know that bought physically in QC is @PrivatePilot and I know he's done well on that purchase.

How's that new IONIQ5 treating you @PrivatePilot been a while since you bought it.

He hasn’t logged in since July. Not sure you’ll get a response.

will run around $26,000 but hohum range.

Kawi's Ninja 7 Hybrid is intriguing tech

for much less money but very limited range as an EV
Kawasaki's hybrid motorcycles, like the Ninja 7 HEV, offer impressive range, with real-world tests achieving around 270 miles (435 km) on a 14L tank by leveraging both petrol and electric power, delivering fuel economy comparable to a 250cc bike with the performance of a larger machine. Full EV mode offers a shorter, limited range (e.g., 7-20 miles at low speeds), but the engine can recharge the battery, providing flexibility and mitigating range anxiety.

A friend's son bought a car out of Quebec, wrecked it and did well with the insurance settlement.
