Willie Wanker you still around ?

[Zollner]

Bolt is a rock solid and very affordable EV as reviewed in above YT clip and is coming back next year. Bolt was my first leased EV, with excellent performance and saved me tons of money. Have since moved on to another leased EV and see no reason to ever return to any ICE vehicles.

Have't spent a penny on gasoline going on 4 years now.
No more oil changes.
No more antifreeze.
No more waiting for engine to warm in winter for heat, since EV has instant electric heat.
Plus yearly vehicle inspections are only 10 bucks, since there are no emissions checks.

Curious Willie Wanker how is your EV experience going?

Still around Willie?

Still lurking here once in a while. I still have the Mach-e. Ford was supposed to do a redesign in 2026 but it looks like they're putting it off until 2027. No regrets I still love driving it. I've had it a while though. I'm ready for something new. Lucid looks interesting..

That's a very accurate list of EV benefits. I've had mine since 2021 and with the exception of two recalls I've only been back to the dealer for tire rotations. Same brake pads that came with the car thanks to one pedal driving. It greatly reduces the wear.

True for me also. The leased Bolt EUV was a rock solid EV.
Rotating tires was the only required maintenance needed.
One pedal driving greatly reduces brake wear to the point original brakes may last 80,000 miles, or more.
The biggest EV plus was money saved by not needing gasoline, oil changes and antifreeze!
So far I've saved $6,000 dollars, and counting, over the past 4 years by driving EVs!!! Instead of giving that $6,000 to our Big Oil Cartels, that money was spent on more important things we look for and enjoy on this SHMB, ya know pussy!!!!....LOL

Good points. I'm looking around, but I feel like I should wait just a little longer because they're getting closer to releasing the newer battery technologies that they've been testing. No doubt that they'll release the newer battery chemistry the week after I buy something with the old batteries lol

I always liked new vehicles. That's why I lease.
Batteries are constantly improving, getting better range and batteries are dropping in price. By leasing, every 3 yrs you get the latest in battery technology and anything else that comes along with it.
