Kinda like the look of that one, and the price point is nice...
I think MrPrena bought some sort of Kia EV recently. Not sure if its the one you?re asking about.Quote:

Even in the case of electricity production from wind and PV, in the case of low annual
mileage (scenario 3000 km), replacing a combustion car with an electric one will result
in greater total CO2 emissions than using the old combustion car throughout the entire
planned period/mileage. In the case of the Polish electricity production mix (case W5),
with higher annual mileage, the replacement of a combustion car with an electric one
(15,000 km/year scenario) will ?pay back? after 9 years from the point of view of CO2
emissions. However, in the remaining scenarios (7500 km and 3000 km/year), it will not be
ecologically beneficial. In the case of the average European mix, replacing a combustion
car with an electric car will pay for itself in the 15,000 km/year scenario after 5.5 years
and in the 7500 km/year scenario after 12 years. In the low-mileage case (up to about
4000 km/year), the total CO2 emissions associated with replacing a combustion car with a
new electric one will be higher over the entire assumed simulation period.
The greenies, are not so green?
DOH!
Blasphemy!!!
I found it interesting that at lower yearly mileage electric sucks. This is exactly what I would use one for, grocery shopping in town.
To be fair 15,000km is ~9,000mi, so most Americans will blow past that and so it might be beneficial to be eclectic.
But overall you can?t cheat physics.
Just got my Smart meter installed this week.
Let the fun begin!
