I got a new 2025 ID. BUZZ for 63k a few weeks back. Any EV with that many seats is expensive and hard to find on our used market here. I think that was a decent price considering initially it retailed around 90K

    Exactly 🤣. Make sure you get your electrify promo if you're in Canada. Something like 1400 or 1699 kWh free charing over a few years.

    I don't have a stage 2 charger yet...

    The average level 1 charger overnight is enough for the average driver, except on excursion days, then a fast charge will top you up enough.

    "1400 or 1600 kWh free charging" - that's about $150.

    Not quite.

    2901129012

    If you math that, it's actually $882

    You didn't even do any math.

    1500 kWh x $0.20/kWh = $300

    1500 kWh x $0.15/kWh = $225

    1500 kWh x $0.10/kWh = $150

    It says 50kWh cost me $31.50. I get 1400. 1400/50=28. 28*31.50=882.

    Ah yes the system that gives you the promo says.....

    What is the rate?

    Beats me they're all kind of different. It's like expecting household groceries to be the same as a restaraunt with the other math.

    That is why you need the rate to know how much of a deal this is or is not. You can not make a claim of value without the value calculations.

    Lol yes I can. If I don't have a stage 2 and I need that power, I need it. They charge their rate, as all do.

    The best point I can make is you're telling me I'm getting ripped off because I'm away from home and starving and stop at McDonalds to get a burger which is 5$ but I could make that at home for 1$

    More I am saying you can't put a $ value on a thing if you don't know what the thing sells for. If I buy something and it says I saved $12 instead of yelling me the price I can't say it costs $12.

    I don't follow. You don't go to McDonalds and do a home cooked cheaper meal at McDonalds. You aren't charging at home. You're charging at a network that isn't yours. The price of your home electricity is irrelevant. The price is what they say per kWh at their facilities.

    And if you don't know the rate on that network you can't put a value on the "free" Kws. Like if your went to McDonalds with a coupon for a free burger, but you can not find out how much a burger is you can't really put a dollar value on that coupon.

    My sister has my old leaf and 2 kids. The leaf is the household car. The grocery getter. The child fetcher. When they announced the buzz she wanted one so goddamn bad. It’s the return of the minivan in electric form. Exactly what she wants but alas cannot afford.
