larsontiffany+FollowEV Owners Are Ditching Electric for GasTurns out, the electric car honeymoon is over for a lot of early adopters. Nearly half of US EV owners are thinking about switching back to gas cars! Why? Charging hassles, high costs, and range anxiety are just the start. Even die-hard Tesla fans admit they’re tired of making every drive a project. The dream isn’t dead, but for many, the reality just doesn’t match the hype. Would you go back to gas? #Cars #ElectricVehicles #EVs30Share
Keith Bass+FollowCould European Cars Go the Way of Blockbuster?Grab your coffee—here’s a quick one: European carmakers are being warned they could end up like Blockbuster if they don’t get serious about electric cars. While some are dragging their feet, China’s already making affordable EVs thanks to smart investments. The kicker? More EVs could mean cheaper energy bills, since those car batteries can store extra wind and solar power for your home. So, next time you’re car shopping, think about whether your new ride could help power your house! #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #ElectricVehicles00Share
john05+FollowTesla Owner's Bill: Cheaper Than Gas?!A Tesla driver freaked when his first home electric bill hit $265—until he realized $73 of that covered 1,600 miles of commuting. That’s less than half what he’d pay for gas! Turns out, charging at home is way cheaper than hitting the pump, even for mega-commuters. Pro tip: use the Tesla app to track your real charging costs and check if your utility offers cheaper overnight rates. Gas station FOMO? Not anymore. Anyone else shocked by their first EV bill? #Transportation #TeslaModel3 #ElectricVehicles00Share
James Smith+FollowEV Tax Drama: Brits Are NOT Having ItAlmost half of UK car buyers are now rethinking going electric, all thanks to a new 'per-mile' tax set to hit in 2028. The fee could tack on about $325 a year for EV owners—talk about a buzzkill for clean cars! Critics are calling the move 'incoherent and inconsistent,' saying it could seriously slow down the switch to electric. Would a tax like this make you ditch your EV dreams? #Cars #ElectricVehicles #EVTax00Share
dalemiller+FollowEV Sales Crash in the U.S.—But Not EverywhereFord and GM just slashed $27 billion from their EV plans after U.S. sales tanked when tax credits disappeared—down 36% in one quarter! But here’s the twist: global EV sales are booming, especially in China and Europe. Meanwhile, GM quietly became America’s #2 EV seller, and with Tesla’s rep taking a hit, they could snag even more buyers. Are Ford and GM making a huge mistake by doubling down on gas guzzlers while the rest of the world goes electric? #Cars #EVs #ElectricVehicles21Share
Stacey Miller+FollowSolid State Batteries: EV Gamechanger or Hype?Donut Lab just dropped a production-ready solid state battery that could double the range of some Teslas and fully charge in five minutes. With 400 watt-hours per kilogram and a lifespan of 100,000 cycles, this tech leap could redefine what we expect from electric vehicles. But will it truly disrupt the market, or is it another overhyped promise? Let’s talk real-world impact and what this means for the future of driving. #Tech #SolidStateBattery #ElectricVehicles10Share
Sean Clark+FollowWhy charging a Tesla in California isn’t saving moneyElectric car owners in California are facing a new reality: charging costs can now match or even exceed the price of fueling a gas SUV. One Tesla Model X driver tracked their expenses and found that, at $0.46–$0.50 per kWh, they spent $2,030 on electricity—almost identical to $2,023 for gas in a 25 mpg SUV. The culprit? Sky-high utility rates, especially from providers like PG&E. In other states, cheap overnight charging still delivers big savings, but here, the math just doesn’t add up. Has anyone else noticed their EV savings shrinking? How are you adapting? #Transportation #Tesla #ElectricVehicles00Share
Tristan Richards+FollowGM’s EV Slowdown: Is It Time to Buy a Hybrid?Here’s your coffee break scoop: GM is still betting big on electric cars, even as it pumps the brakes on spending and production. The twist? They’re keeping gas-guzzlers and hybrids in the mix for now, since most folks aren’t ready to go fully electric. So if you’re car shopping, don’t stress—hybrids and classic trucks aren’t going anywhere soon. GM’s just playing the long game, hoping to win when everyone finally wants an EV. #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #ElectricVehicles00Share
walkerjason+FollowEV Sales Aren’t Slowing Down—Here’s ProofTired of hearing that electric car sales are tanking? An auto expert just called out the media for pushing this myth, and the receipts are wild. Global EV market share has actually grown every year since 2015, and by 2030, nearly half of all cars sold could be electric. Sure, growth rates slow as markets mature (Norway’s at 98% EVs!), but that’s not a decline. With all the money people are saving on fuel and home charging, it’s no wonder more drivers are making the switch. #Cars #ElectricVehicles #EVMyths11Share
Michael Wilson+FollowGM’s $6B EV Gamble Hits a WallGM just hit the brakes on its electric car dreams—hard. After pouring $6 billion into EVs, the company’s now slashing 1,100 jobs and scaling back big time. Turns out, the profits never showed up, incentives dried up, and the market’s not as hot as they hoped. Now, factories are pausing, workers are left hanging, and GM’s basically admitting the EV race is way tougher than they thought. Is this the end of the road for legacy automakers trying to go electric? #Cars #GM #ElectricVehicles00Share
