NOBODY wants to see a driving version of my kit MORE THEN ME - it's killing me, daily, hourly. Here's a video, there's about a dozen on there about the build, PLEASE, begging everyone that wants to hate, I'm just not up for it. I'm thinking retail for the kit, all in, somewhere around $29,000...

OFF OP's topic - but I didn't start it... I love it here, California is easily the best state in the union! BUT, yes, every single thing that is mentioned here that involves DMV is a HUGE HUGE pain in the ass (no bad words typed but spoken outload often!). I won't even start listing off all...

SLIGHY deviation but kinda' on topic: All in, including removal of old engine, updating fuel delivery, exhaust, headers, everything, time and labor, what does a proper LS swap cost (about)?

Anything to add about the Polestar - I haven't driven that one, or most of the others, but would love to know what you thought of that one. And, if you're still typing, maybe just a synopsis of why you don't like them, would LOVE to know.

So, I'll put you in the Never Driven an EV column - check. Semi unrelated side question: Are you every not mean and insulting if you don't like something?

Meet a bucket of electrons: Here's a cheap one from HF: 30 min's should get you about 2.5 miles, something like that. I'll be you've got two of these in your garage and probably don't associate with the riff-raff that don't have a couple gennys lying around....

Okay, so, here's a thought - perhaps it would make sense to ask those that post here, pro or con, if they've ever actually driven an EV. I'm suggesting it because once you do, MANY of your kneejerk replies and post will be, ummm, well, less knee-jerky. Won't cure or 100% change minds but man...

EXACTLY, and some (most if not all) EVs do that now, completely automatically. Gotta' figure it out. Here's a problem I hadn't heard of before, transport companies that move ICE and EVs across the county, sometimes taking a Chevy Bolt from GA to LA - through TX in the coldest snap ever. This...

Come on, come on, come on - screaming in bold doesn't make it correct. That headline seems to be the only thing one side reads in that entire story. Open another adult beverage, settle into your favorite Lazy-Boy and read the entire post, down at the bottom it says this: "Expenses related to...

Again, I think you're kinda' exaggerating the same problem with ICE, you are limping to a gas station, hopefully, right?? Out of gas is the same, si? Also, you don't have to make it to a super charger. As long as you aren't below a certain level of charge, you can warm up the batteries, it's...

Okay, so, this is a super sticky one for me. I would like to remind EVERYONE that GM invented the EV1 and killed it. Please consider what the automotive world would look like NOW if GM hadn't made the biggest mistake of any large company in history since the Wright Brothers failed to trademark...

This is kinda' misleading, I'd say a half truth. EVs, even the Jeep EVC I'm build all have built in Limp Home functions. ALL of them. Mostly dealing with running out of juice, usually below 20% SOC (State of Charge - the functional equivalent of the fuel lit flashing). That coupled with the...

RIGHT, I know I'm off topic here but WTF with gas rates in SoCal!!! $6++/gal one day and $4 & change the next -forget it here, it's sooo stupid. Sorry, really pisses me off. Now back to our normally scheduled rants...

I think your right on most of that but not true on the affordable or reliable part, Chevy Bolt, $24,000. Love it, zero problems (so far).

Unfortunately, at least for our neighbors and significant others, we, the Jeep community, keep our Jeeps till we kill them or we're killed and it's someone else's problem. I'm guilty, sorry environment, I'll walk extra hard this week to try to make up for it....

NOW see, look look, a comment, a reply actually, that was nice, reasoned, albeit personal, that you don't see EV's suiting your situation. YOU even said why and didn't bring up anything other then how YOU feel - BRAVO! Why is that a threat to the EV movement - it ISN'T. Not even a little bit...

Really - two words to softly and respectfully call your comment hypocritical - block heaters. If you need to plug in your damn ICE engine to keep it from freezing from within overnight, can't you give the burgeoning EV market just a bit of room to come up with a solution* ? *(there already is...

I think you might have stuck on a vain here Sir - agree, Big EV (whatever the f that actually is) and more specifically Big EV consumers or intended consumers are failing on their messaging. Especially given the profile of the average Jeep owner - here and elsewhere. BUT, and that's a very...

Solid State batteries - RIGHT - now that's the solution we should all be rallying around!!!

Le sigh.
