IGBTs are still used frequently in power electronics. Not sure what this person is going on about. They are cheap off the shelf components that are very durable and robust… Except when they are not, but that’s usually because of bad engineering around it.
Yeah, your dealer is full of shit. Isn’t the warranty a MINI product, not a dealer product? They could go pound sand if they tried to make those claims.
You’re talking about the world of Lifecycle Assessment (LCA). This is a very well understood process. And over the lifetime of the car you have significantly less overall emissions. It’s like paying a big down payment to have a lower monthly. Except rather than it being similar money in the end, EVs have less. Lots of studies have been done to show this. Many countries and power sources have shown over and over again, over the standard lifespan, the emissions are significantly less.
In most cases, you become less overall after 2 years.
That’s bad startup life in general.
Man, the ioniq six had so much room. I’m 6’5" and with the seat all the way back I could just reach the pedals. Give it another go with the AWD limited. You’ll find it’s a pretty great car for a tall person.
I’m 6’5" and the idea of a trunk like this is great. I prefer side swinging myself, but this is better than up swinging.
What about the poor Sandero… It can’t be the but of jokes anymore…
In the latest news, the Dacia Sandero is now a reliable vehicle… and on that bombshell…
I watch him for a few repair things but I don’t watch him regularly… Is he anti EV?
