In some regions even your number is optimistic. In the app EA shows when the last charging sessions took place. In my area most plugs were not used in the last 2 weeks even once. Sometimes I just wonder how will they stay afloat.
Regarding VT rates. This is interesting case - it costs...
Definitely finite, though known oil reserves are actually going up for the last 40 years. We keep finding oil to extract at faster pace than using it.

My I-PACE also has been sold as used. EV tax credit belongs to the titleholder, so as long as the car was not titled before, I believe you're good.
I received my title and registration from county clerk 2 days ago. On the title the car is marked as new and the previous title number is MSO...
Yes. They had received it same day I took it. Their charger was slow, so I decided to leave at 60% and charge on my way to make it home before midnight.
2 weeks ago I've been driving 260 miles in ICE vehicle. I traded it for a BEV and drove back exactly same way.
It took me 4.5 hours in an ICE car. I didn't have to refuel, but I did stop to eat something and had a bio break.
It took me 6 hours and 10 minutes to get back in EV. I had two charging...
Alex on Autos was less optimistic about the model Y range. They estimated it to be around 225 miles:
Of course as with any range estimate. Estimate is the key word.
I also couldn't resist those deals and picked up my I-PACE yesterday. The car was about $23k off comparing to 2020 model. I had to drive it back from Atlanta, so already spent some time in it. Well, it's a really nice place to be in :) The interior is absolutely gorgeous.
For interested this page explains EPA the testing procedure pretty well:

Somewhere on the page you will also find a link to the cycles:

Just for fun I gave it a shot - don't take it too seriously ;)
The cheapest Bentley costs $165,000 and does 17 mpg. Assuming 60k for Mach-E that's $105,000 difference.
Cost of 100 miles in Bentley - $18 (assuming quite optimistic price of $3.1 per gallon of premium)
Cost of 100 miles in...
I'm in similar situation, though for me it's about 4.5 hours drive.
I've never been to this show before. Looking at the list of manufacturers (https://goautoshow.com/manufacturers/) the European brands are mostly missing: Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Volvo, Jaguar. Which means no e-tron, I-Pace, or...
Here is another test of range. C&D tested on an oval track at 75 mph.
Tesla S Performance did 222 miles vs 348 EPA
Taycan Turbo S did 208 miles vs 192 EPA

EPA does only a small portion of the certification testing. Manufacturers do the majority of the testing, with the EPA reviewing results submitted by manufacturers. Since manufacturers do the testing there is some wiggle room and gaming the results, so generally I would take it with a grain of...
