Denim blue. The color choices weren't great. The only real colors were blue and red. The blue is okay, but nothing swoon-worthy like the Audi has had.nice! congrats on the new wheels. What color did you get?

Not to mention that an EV battery loses as much as 40% of stored power in cold weather.So what happens when your mountain is 350 miles from your home, and there are no chargers available along the way? I'm not up on the technology but if you have all electric and you are too far from a charger and out in the middle of nowhere what do you do? My neighbor barley makes it, no room for error, had to petition the HOA to get his own charger in the condo garage.....

You use a different car, and/or petition the state for more chargers. We will need more chargers eventually, and automotive pollution is still a major problem. Major.
The Electrify America fast charger network has really come along. We drove NY to nearly GA last summer using it without problems. I know temperature makes a difference, but I was impressed at the fact that the trip was doable.Yes, for longer trips people need fast chargers. It's impractical to think they will get a booster and go another 50 miles or whatever. When electric vehicles are the norm, there will be plenty of fast chargers, which will help them become the norm.
They are planning to spend billions on public charging stations, but given how fragile our electrical grids are now, adding that on top doesn’t sound like a good plan.The Electrify America fast charger network has really come along.

I am admittedly anti-electric cars right now. We are not ready to abandon fossil fuels yet.
It’s my opinion that electric cars will have their place when they figure out a battery system that is not subject to thermal runaway, fires and explosions.
We lost a friend, mother of 4 under 16 years, to a Tesla fire. She slid off a road and into a tree. The battery caught fire and she couldn’t open the door.
The fire department arrived quickly, but couldn’t extinguish the fire-it kept reigniting. Not water. Not foam. Nothing worked.
The Autopsy showed she would have survived the accident with minor injuries, had she been able to exit the car. I cannot even imagine her last moments.
I am so sorry to hear about your friend. Whenever I saw a Tesla on the road, my inner voice would say, "someday, if I ever have the money, I would love to buy a Tesla". Not anymore, at least until they improve the dangers associated with them.I am admittedly anti-electric cars right now. We are not ready to abandon fossil fuels yet.

My brother has been an executive for over 40 years at a major utility company. His area is fire insurance compliance within the power plants. He has worked at their nuclear plants, as well as gas/steam turbine and some hydro power stations. He also has high level fire protection certifications at the national level. Where it might just give him some letters at the end of his title, I believe he knows his stuff.@2ski2moro now thinking need to discuss w/ HOA b/c I received my new condo insurance policy and noticed they are dropping some coverage for electric vehicle caused damage
