rev up your engines!
it's time for the Scotty Kilmer channel
Are you are thinking about buying an electric car, will if you are thinking it, I will give you some
information to let you decide if you really want to buy an electric car, and if so,
which one do you want to buy, now I have a customer as a Nissan Leaf, a little car,
and if you don't mind a little car, with limited range, she's happy with the car,
now she recently drove early from Houston to Galveston, which is about 60
miles, to go to the beach, but she was at the beach all day, she had to wait for
her car to recharge, so she can make it back to Houston, now if you don't mind
spending over thirty thousand dollars for a car with limited range and you're
going to do a lot of in town driving, perhaps you'd want to buy one of these,
or a Ford Focus Electric that's twenty nine thousand dollars, but look at this,
here's what a regular Ford Focus goes for, a Gasoline Focus is sixteen
thousand dollars, it's about half the price, so realize you're going to pay a
premium for electric cars, now if you want range in an electric car, and insane
speed, and money isn't that big of an object for you, you do want to check out
a Tesla, their speed demon starts at eighty thousand dollars, and man it is
fast, they can go zero to 60 in 2.9 seconds, that's one second faster than a
Dodge Hellcat that has a 707 horsepower gasoline engine, and it can go
up to 295 miles on a single charge, and do realize this about electric cars, an
electric motor only has one moving part, gasoline and diesel motors have hundreds
of moving parts, they're much simpler maintenance is no big deal, but you do
have to recharge them, and unlike filling up a gasoline engine, it can take
a long time, if you use a conventional 112 Charger, it can take over four days
to charge one of those batteries up, and Tesla has a few of these Tesla super
charging stations that use 240 volts and real high amperage, but it still takes about
an hour to recharge the battery, and even if you have one of these 240
volt receptacles outside your house like I do, it's a lot lower amperage and
that's probably going to take about eight hours to recharge the car fully, so
if you want an electric car but your worried about running out of power, you might think
about a Chevy Volt, those can go 53 miles on electricity and when that runs out
they have a gas engine, so you can go a total of 420 miles, so you're not going
be stranded anywhere, or again if money is no object, you might think about the
BMW car, it can go 114 miles on electricity, then it has a two cylinder
engine that it can run at, so you can get to a gas station and keep filling it up
for a total of 180 mile range, now as time goes on, these cars will probably
get somewhat cheaper, this is the Tesla Model 3, which just recently has been
rolled out for the employees only, they started $35,000, so a wise person
like myself, really thinks, hey maybe I'll wait until the prices come down and
there's more infrastructure for charging systems, before spending that amount of
money on a car, but ultimately it's your choice, and now at least you can make a
wise decision
and remember, if you have any car questions, just visit the Scotty Kilmer Channel,
and I'll answer them as soon as I get back from paradise, assuming I come back.
