There also the problem of EV tires tending to be special order, so even if you get towed you may be stuck somewhere several days waiting on a tire. My wife had a sidewall puncture from road debris and luckily got home. So at least the car was stuck at home while we waited on tire delivery. -Ste

It's clear these cars are currently being made for show. Large wheels with tiny sidewalls. No spare tire. Low ground clearance, no skid plates. The Model Y might be called a crossover, but it's really not intended to go off smooth pavement. Maybe the cybertruck is different (but too big for me)

I agree. For example, I would be uncomfortable driving on forest service roads, out where tow trucks charge $100s to make a trip, without a spare tire. Peri << Annoyed by leaf blowers ? https://quietcleanseattle.org/ >> -- Original Message -- From: "EVDL Administrator via EV" To: "Ele

[EVDL] VW ID4 included charging adapter 120/240?

Hi folks A friend is buying a new ID4 today that comes with the traditional 120V adapter to trickle charge. The question is if it can adapt to 240V like my Tesla has that I just plug into a 14/50 240V socket and charges at a 32A rate? My Leaf adapter and Bolt will only do 120V so some EVs are
