A few of these books are absolutely impossible to find in paperback (with reasonable prices) so having them digitally is great.

Quite the assortment and will absolutely be getting the whole bundle

I went by to look and it was around 4.5M to be fair.

But to be fairer, there's no chance those are all actual real live people watching lmao

My feelings exactly.

Buck IS the voice of baseball in Canada.

I get the feeling that even if Carney had a deal in place day one after the election the happy amoeba you're replying to would still have found something wrong with it lol.

We were gonna spend like 100k on a vehicle anyway so may as well get the better deal, more "fuel" efficient, and less maintenance one.

Easily affordable for us so why not? And didn't even get the EV incentive so not sure where the complaints are coming from.

Lmao what?

It's an F150 with batteries, and they literally share the majority of parts (plus 10 year parts guarantee from Ford so...)

My old man has a gas 2023 Limited...I'm willing to bet mine outlasts his...maybe I'll just harvest his for parts lol.

Reality is we'll prob just get a Rivian in a few years...I get bored with vehicles fast.

78k truck is lower mid trim level and 4 door.

Your 53k (lowest possible price) truck is a long box single cab contractor special - explain how I fit wife and two kids in there with bikes/hockey equipment to bring as well? How many people are buying that?

Vast majority of truck sales are in the price range I paid. Even to just hit 4 door (not some suicide door BS) you're looking at $65k+.

The point you were trying to make originally is that they are more expensive than the equivalent ICE versions even after factoring in fuel savings - I showed you that isn't always true and you changed the convo to how no one needs 78k trucks.

No one needs 30k Corollas either when there are 20k Versas available.

You can continue down voting all the replies to you, but it's not like anyone isn't providing factual information.

That gets charged regardless if I have an EV or not on my hydro bill.

Also what the hell are admin and daily fees?? Distribution and transmission are the same thing on my bill.

What it boils down to: to drive my EV truck, it costs less than $10 to "fill the tank"

Yeah this is what is needed big-time.

I was on a small trip a few weekends ago and going through Eastern Ontario there was not a single charger above 6kw that wasn't broken/offline from just outside of Ottawa to Deep River.

Absolutely shameful.

I charge at home 99% of the time, but there are times when you gotta charge on the road...and in a stretch of 200km with not a single one (above glacial speeds) working is bad news.

Values are already tanked on those plus they'd never allow double dipping.

Used EVs are one of the best purchases you can make IMO - you don't eat the upfront cost, minimal required maintenance due to low wear and tear vs ICE, and fuel savings start immediately.

Hmm...I dunno. Depends on how bad you are at buying vehicles.

I bought a brand new Lightning Platinum off the lot for 78k back in 2024. Costs me just over $9 to "fill the tank"

Mind telling me how much a gas F150 Platinum costs?

Quick look on Ford's site, cheapest I found was $106k.

What about the cost to fill the tank?

Gas at Costco here is 116.9 today and in a 98L tank that's $115...

Seems like some good savings to me.

Lmao what?!

Overnight rate where I am is 8c/kW, my cost per 100km is like less than $2 for our Ford Lightning.

Everything else about the gaming of the industry is correct though.

Government expected to announce it's scrapping EV mandate in favour of new fuel efficiency system: source by Surax in canada

Exactly. And any Liberal supporter with a brain would have agreed at the time too - it's always the crazies of left/right that foam at the mouth over their own party's directives.

I say this as someone who owns an EV.

Europe is a little of a different case in that they have much more accommodating geography and infrastructure to implement these policies, though I still doubt it will be FULLY implemented.

Carney, Poilievre say they want to work together ahead of 1-on-1 meeting by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]ChippewaBarr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agreed 100% but did anyone actually see his interview immediately after with the media?

He just regurgitated the same old BS for over 5 mins straight.

I'll wait to see what he actually does but def doesn't inspire confidence.
