I’ve done the math on used Focus (Focii?), Leaf, and e-Golf as a commuter but it just doesn’t make sense. Maybe someone will trade a cheap EV for a Ducati Scrambler….then the math may work lol. They all have garbage range and wouldn’t make it to work and back on a charge. 🙅‍♂️

I will remove all bike lanes and replace them with motorcycle lanes. I’d love to take a run at it….but you gotta be baller to run for any type of decent office in this country.

This thing is going to hit 100k easy once the dealers add their markup... https://driving.ca/reviews/preview/2027-toyota-highlander-ev-electric-suv

I looked at the IONIQ9 and EV9...80k for a new one...F that. I'd rather just pay 50-60k for a new Odyssey instead.

I so regret not buying an EV instead of my Maverick as a primary vehicle. I have the charger, and I wasn't expecting Doug making us RTO 5 days/week. Had I known that...EV 100% as the commute is so much cheaper in comparison. No gas. Less maintenance. Less parts. Less noise. It just works...

Buddy bought 2. VF9 for himself and VF7 for his dad. They both love them but the tech is glitchy and has spent a bit of time in the shop. Had a chance to drive both and while very nice fit and finish….the driving experience is dead. No real connectivity to the road. Stupidly quiet and plush...

Good points all around, and the best point is that the answer is ‘it depends’. Let’s face it both within GTAM and outside there aren’t that many riders that will take their bikes for more than a few hour jaunt regularly and (like me) end our adventure within the daylight hours. I agree though...

This guys ready… -8C this morning….

Oh my... Came upon this thing in my beginning search for an Odyssey replacement...

KEVIN! But he moved out Kingston way to be closer to his daughter. But maybe….welcome to the forum Kevin! Ever live by Dundas and Mavis???

I much prefer more snow over the brutal cold.

Yup...seeing lots of roofs with so many sides/edges/slopes that it's got to be a nightmare to do. Ours is simple....2 roofs with fairly small slopes. Time to start saving.

Small warmup and lots of rain in the forecast this week...should help to start clearing the streets of the grit and salt.

Agreed. Even some US models can't come to our roads because of slight differences in standards. Been a while since I looked into it but last I checked it was daytime running lights, and some higher speed impacts to the bumpers slightly over the US standards. Mind you it's been a long time...

My buddy’s boss has a few condos down there. Buddy is going in a week on company dime and just has to pay his wife’s air ticket. I’m in the wrong business.
