In most U.S. zip codes, electric vehicles are cost-competitive with their gas-powered counterparts, according to a new study. And regarding emissions benefits of EVs, individual driving patterns matter as much as regional factors like the local electricity mix.

    I just want a 70 mph enclosed golf cart that can go 150M, charge at home in a few hours, has a tablet size screen that does CarPlay and some speakers, and won’t kill me in a fender bender. I don’t need giant screens, self driving, door latches that won’t work without power, butt warming seats, integrated entertainment system, etc. Oh and maybe have it cost less than my first house (I had a cheap house)

      I’m with you on most of that, but I get much better winter range using heated seats instead of heating the whole cabin. And if they’re not doing an entertainment system it would be nice to have an aux input.

        Yeah that does sound scary. I guess by golf cart I mean a very small simple car. I have some interstate driving to get to work so doing only 45 would likely get me killed.
