That’s strange, as an old Star Trek fan I think this is the best ST I have seen in years.

And the drones are boats, so…

What no Rankine?

People that blue themselves pretty much did it on purpose. Afaik it’s not permanent.

I would hope the professor would have at least chuckled.

Since you are in the EU I think Xiaomi SU7(Chinese) might be available in '27. Those are like Taycans but costs about 42k new.

Also if it gets cold, you might want to look for vehicles that can preheat the battery.

Lucid might be us only?

I think the newer leafs are good but are limited on range iirc.

I recently bought an EV and he’s what I learned. Get a vehicle with an 800 volt charging system. Lowers your level 3 charging from 35 minutes to 18 minutes.

Depending on what you are doing with the vehicle, 200 range is more than enough for a city commuter.

For long distance travel, the fast charging will help a lot. If you absolutely need range look at LUCID vehicles. Otherwise most people can cope with 200 to 300 range and fast charging.

For the US, used EVs are dirt cheap these days. 20k can get you a vehicle that’s 3 to 4 years old, 25 to 50k mileage, and most are still under warranty.

Charging at home costs about 1/10th the price of gas for me. Plus super convenient.

Chademo chargers are being faded out for US. So a car that charges on a Tesla network is best for traveling.

Most EVs are good, some have software quirks, outdated battery tech, etc. but I would look at Hyundai, Kia, Tesla, Audi, and Lucid as some of the top EVs. Although new Chevy bolt, VW id4, Cadillac Lyric and others can be good reliable vehicles at rock bottom used prices. Also honorable mention for Porsche Taycan which can be found used 35k to 60k usd
