Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Man oh man I think I really lucked out trading in the ol' gas car for an EV this week.
My wife's car started doing this thing where it was like the peddle was not attached to the accelerator. Towed it to the dealer. $9k+ to repair. Yeah, fuck that shit. Time for a new car. What EV did you get?
Found a really nicely priced '22 Bolt EUV in great condition with only 28k miles.
I really like it. It's well equipped in features, zippy, has over 200mi of range. It also doesn't "look" like an EV (IMO some manufacturers seem to think EVs have to look quirky or futuristic). In that same vein it also doesn't fall into the other EV trap where everything is touchscreen and electronic. Traditional door handles, physical buttons for climate/volume/features.
The only drawback to a Bolt is that it doesn't have stupid-fast DC fast charging. For most people they'll charge at home and it won't matter. (Actually, Bolts '22 and newer can home charge quicker than many cars if you've got the setup) But if you're going on a road trip it could mean getting there slower. Takes about 45-50 minutes to charge. If you're going 500 miles that's not too bad, one stop for lunch and you're set. If you're going 5000 miles with any regularity, well it could be a deal breaker. If you need that look at some models like the Ioniq 5 which can charge in under 20min.
