20% go back to ICE. Which seems high considering the really high customer approval ratings.

That study which quotes that number said that the 20% that went back to ICE typically had a low range EV like a Fiat and no where to charge at home. The other 80% were very happy with their EVs. Most new EVs are now much higher range so I bet that number is outdated.

Good to see you posting again Joe. Interesting that you're an EV convert. It looks like you're due for a new vehicle so the UX must be out. I think Hydrogen is the answer long term.

Not Teslas. The early EVs with low range. The Leaf was very popular, but lost battery range in a couple of years; it had a range og 80 miles without using heat or AC. Was down to 50 in 3 years.
People hated them; my understanding is Nissan still uses inferior batteries.
Also, people who lived in apartments and could not charge at home.

Perhaps 100% of EV buyers switched from ICE to EV, right?

not sure what that means, but i bet most households with an EV also have an ICE vehicle.

Every EV owner I know has an ICE car. I sure do.

If you say 20% went from EV to ICE, can't you say close to 100% ICE went to EV?
The only ones who didn't bought an EV as theit 1st car.

For those of you that don't get to see the beautiful fall autumn colors of a colder climate, these are for you. First shot is close to Algonquin Provincial park - further north, hence more of the foliage has changed color. The second pic was shot in Niagara Falls, Ontario and it's not quite fall yet.

Nice pics. The trees are stunning this year, even down here in TN. (I see you're in Canada where fall foliage is stunning every year, up north.)

Car looks good!
