General *Gas Price Thread* - Post here and Track Biden-flation.

What’s the average cost of a new gas vehicle in America? $47,000?
These electric vehicles are going to be fantastic when this type of weather hits:
Ford surprises F-150 Lightning owners with accessory that can recharge stranded Teslas
Ford said it wants its owners to “lend a hand.”
Honda, Sony Could Form Standalone Company For Joint EV Venture
Japanese marques Honda and Sony announced their EV joint venture back in March. Honda will be building the first vehicle on a platform created by Sony.

Not to mention the rolling blackouts.
Can these fuel price displays be formatted so the decimal point can move one spot to the right?
What happens when it hits $10/g?

Yeah
The average transaction price for an electric vehicle (EV) is $56,437, according to Kelley Blue Book — roughly $10,000 higher than the overall industry average of $46,329 that includes gas and EVs.
I know when an electric forklift has its battery take a shit you are generally better off buying a new lift instead of a new battery.
How long are these EV batteries supposed to last? And how much is a replacement battery?

Ford’s Lightening battery is expected to last 250,000+ miles. Muchmuch longer than most people own a vehicle. 100,000 mile warranty.
Don’t worry you get an 8 year 100,000 mile warranty. Then it’s only 15-20k to replace.
Just paid 5.29 a gallon
Said I would be pissed when I paid over 5
I'm pissed

And how long before diminishing returns start showing up?
Again, basing it off electric forklifts...as batteries age they hold less and less of a charge. With a new lift you might be able to go 1 week without plugging it in depending on workload - but eventualy you have to charge it during lunch to make sure it can make it to the end of the shift.
Batteries don't go from working to not. It's a slow death.

Anecdotal but I know a guy with a Tesla Model S. He's had it for 5 years and has spent less than $5k in maintenance (mostly software updates). That's on top of the $0 he spends on gas.
So $5,000 in five years for fuel and maintenance. No gas-powered car in the world comes close to that.
lol "I know a guy"
Not sure I'll be too eager to drop $20k on a vehicle with 120k miles.
I average about 25k miles a year on my vehicles. So roughly every 5 years I'm either buying a new vehicle or dropping $20k on a battery. I suppose I could budget an extra $340/month to cover the inevitable battery replacement expense. But that feels pretty stupid.
And then there's this:
Time to fill up enough gas to go 500 miles: 5 minutes.
Time to charge an EV to go
It doesn't. That's what.
100%
Electric vehicles (and forklifts) have very little mechanically that go wrong with them compared to their combustible counterparts.
Until the battery goes. Then it's a boat anchor.
Let's hope not.
Not true anymore. Now that there are more competitors that's dropped massively.
Like cell phone batteries, given the rapid charging stations, you can go from nada to 80% in about 20 minutes on some new cars. So about the time it takes you to fill up with gas and drop a giant deuce after eating that weird Cincinnati chili spaghetti crap.
Basically just need to hope that there’s nobody ahead of you at the charging station.
20 minutes still kind of sucks, but not too hurtful.
I wonder what
And has the gov't figured out how they are going to collect taxes? By mileage?
