I'm not a big Jag fan mind you but another company moving away from ICE all together is interesting. I believe Audi cancelled the R8 in favor of an EV version and the next Dodge Charger Hellcat supposedly will be an EV as well.

My wife's EV is pretty nice, but so far every EV I've driven has been discovered from the road. Like a moving couch instead of a driving experience. Hopefully we'll get some real enthusiast grade sports cards out of this.

What do y'all think?

I agree and disagree with you. My wife owns an Ionic 5 and I drive a '14 Z51 Vette M7. Other than WY her car does fine for long range it just takes longer. But we drive it for 4-6 days at a time between charging.

I'd rather drive my Vette most times but in traffic and long road boring road trips her car is really nice to drive.

We live in CO and the car does better in the hills/ mountains than the flats for range when using one pedal driving.

As long as an ICE meets modern EPA standards a used car is almost always (not really big trucks like 350s and so on) better total impact than any new car including an EV.

Glad you can enjoy what you got, that's most important.
