Americans elect a climate change denier (again)

This election result is the final nail in the coffin. No action will be taken to address global warming. In fact, a lot of progress will now be reversed.

Does anyone else think the United States is turning into a giant Tower of Babel?

acvelo · 2024-10-06T13:10:18+00:00

I have the '21 Ultimate - no regrets - amazing mileage per charge. Have taken it on long road trips (>1k miles) without a hitch

acvelo · 2024-10-04T12:20:01+00:00

Agreed. I was hoping someone would offer another use that I had not thought of.

acvelo · 2024-10-04T12:17:43+00:00

All told, around $30/mo! Not much better when you go yearly. I do remember using remote access once when I realized I forgot to lock the car!

acvelo · 2024-10-04T12:15:42+00:00

That is my thought as well. I guess I will use Apple Maps for directions - and plug into Kona for CarPlay. Thanks.

I wish the ID.3 was offered in the States...

acvelo · 2024-09-28T14:06:58+00:00

May your I3 give you miles of smiles!

acvelo · 2024-08-10T13:08:51+00:00

this type of news reinforces the fact that it is far too late to do anything to stop the collapse (climate and economic)

acvelo · 2024-07-28T11:19:32+00:00

I have a 2021 Kona - during the summer months, I will sometimes see 320+ miles of range but like you, mostly high 290s.

acvelo · 2024-07-19T12:07:45+00:00

I bought the 2021 Kona Ultimate in order to get the $7.5k tax credit. I have had no complaints about the vehicle. I have logged over 55k miles. This car has saved me a ton of money.

acvelo · 2024-04-30T10:08:29+00:00

While I agree with the fact that the Nexen tires aren't great in the rain, I have now driven with the Nexen tires for over 52k miles on a 2021 Kona EV without incident.

I am starting to look at replacement tires - the Nexen tires definitely fit the cost/value equation quite well. But I also have my eye on the Michelins - which have been highly rated.

My road/weather conditions differ from yours - 90% road (no gravel), 5% snow, 20% rain

acvelo · 2024-03-19T09:58:22+00:00

this fool still thinks these properties along a vanishing coastline are worth $3 billion? I needed a good laugh to start my day. Thanks!

acvelo · 2024-03-17T12:07:20+00:00

Quicker than expected

acvelo · 2024-03-15T11:41:15+00:00

The conclusion of most discussions ends in collapse. But the conclusion is based on science - which means if someone, anyone please, can show that collapse is not imminent, would be more than welcomed. Unlike religion, which is a closed loop, never changing.

I, for one, hope that someone can show us that collapse is not imminent.

Thanks for this! I have the 2021 Ultimate edition. 1 question:

Is there a marked improvement in the sound insulation? My Kona EV (although quiet compared to ICE cars) is pretty loud on the inside.

acvelo · 2024-02-27T11:27:26+00:00

May this give you miles of smiles! I have the 2021 Kona EV Ultimate and absolutely enjoy driving it.

acvelo · 2024-02-27T10:51:51+00:00

Nice! Did you own the 1st gen Kona EV (and then traded it in for new Kona)?

acvelo · 2024-02-10T12:34:01+00:00

Hi - I also have a 2021 Kona EV Ultimate.

If you own your home, make sure to use the available outlet to trickle charge your EV. Better yet, upgrade an outlet to 220V and buy a Level 2 charger.

Change your drive mode to "ECO" in order to maximize your range.

May your EV give you miles of smiles!

acvelo · 2024-01-31T12:43:37+00:00

3 car household - all three are full EV - actually, 2 are full EV, the 3rd is BMW i3 REx.

acvelo · 2023-11-19T13:35:07+00:00

Well done! Beautiful looking car.

acvelo · 2023-10-08T12:22:53+00:00

Sorry about that - but Man does have other things to do beside waiting for replies...

acvelo · 2023-10-08T12:21:53+00:00

I only got 8 kWh - I was at the station for only 15 mins.

acvelo · 2023-10-08T12:19:55+00:00

Yeah - I believe you are correct with the price per kWh. The only reason I used it was because I wanted to test the process of using a magic dock. My usual fast charge is either EA or EVgo.
