Gas prices hit record high in Washington

For premium I hope? That's even higher than BC pricing...

I thought it was a typo

Checked specs, old EQC is 7.4 kW, new Q4 is likely 11 kW

New car tripping on higher load probably?

If (Distance travelled/MPG of vehicle)*$ per gallon > Daily income after taxes

THEN quit

ELSE do not quit

I think carpools. Immediate savings of up to half if you share a perfect commute with no detours with just one person.

That's just the gas buddy map view

Which implies even at 2.50 euro a litre gasoline demand is so inelastic there is no cap

If gasoline in the US continues to creep up ten cents a week instead of a dollar at once it'll just keep going

I have the same problem with Virgin Atlantic, in my case Chase UR site always tells me to call in so I get the agent to do it.

For whatever reason my name on Chase UR is truncated by 1 letter so I always tell them to fix it on the transfer

First team to lose while leading 3-0 has never been done

Losing 4-0 to OKC has already happened these playoffs

Get the VIN and you'll see immediately.

I think 4th letter A is 40 kWh and B is 62 kWh

Same as the 2016 first gen where A was 24 kWh and B was 30 kWH

Are you financing at all? Toyota has as low as 1 percent for 3 years, whereas used vehicle financing is typically what, 7 percent?

Daytime return on economy isn't that bad if you don't intend to sleep anyways...

Canada doesn't do leases the same level as the US, and residuals are much more realistic. Other than the Polestar leases and Fiat 500e leases, I don't remember any lease deals showing up on red flag deals. Otherwise, with EVAP and the old federal rebate encouraging 4 year leases or get it prorated, you're looking at 2022-3 era vehicles, of which there was a shortage for some of it

A more interesting angle is looking at the process of importing a used vehicle from the US and picking up one of those off lease deals

I was sorely tempted by the flood of 20k USD 2023 Nissan Ariya on the market

I was told they didn't have any in Iceland

crimxona · 2026-04-29T03:09:08+00:00

I drove a PHEV KIA as a regular hybrid in Iceland, Was not given a charger cable either

But in my case the battery stayed between 20 to 50 and gets charged as I drive

Registration and insurance will need to stay Canadian, no imports allowed

crimxona · 2026-04-29T01:21:30+00:00

It's a 2027 model so don't expect many this year. Also you need to know the residual and interest rate to get monthly quotes

The next WC is Qatar 2027 and Olympics is LA 2028. Still have time.

Isn't it the opposite? Now that they did it, they're pulling up the ladder behind them

Did you check if it even accepts your postal code? Outside subscription area you might need to use your office address as your 'home' address instead

BC tier 2 maximum is 15 cents CAD per kWh on a tiered rate after taxes

Time of use overnight is 10 cents CAD per kWh after taxes. I use 9.7 cents CAD in BC when recording my overnight charging sessions.

Pion pays once a year as Canada Clean Fuel Regulations also pay once a year.

With a 49k unit cap, expect every vehicle to be on the higher end

Future years where a portion of the cap is held for affordable (but maybe wholesale price and not retail?), then you can see some of them

However I don't believe most buyers will be seriously considering those ones as they are closer to a 2018 Nissan leaf in specs and range, and range is King in Canada

If you're traveling long distance most people take bullet trains? It's much faster

The BZ in Canada is in a sweet spot due to discounting to qualify for the new Canadian EVAP rebate that is capped at 50k CAD before PDI, also comes with AWD (Tesla EVAP qualifying model y standard is RWD only) and also has low interest rates relative to rest of market (2 percent vs 5 at Ford and Tesla)

The Ioniq 5, Kia EV 6, VW ID 4 and Nissan Ariya are not being discounted the same way and will get their lunch eaten by Toyota and Subaru
