WHY I DUMPED MY ELECTRIC CAR AND BOUGHT A TOYOTA GR86!

EV Channels Review

The reviewer details their decision to sell a 2023 Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition and purchase a 2023 Toyota GR86 Premium. The primary reasons for switching from the EV were the frustrating public charging experience, particularly on road trips, and the limited range and charging time which made long-distance travel on a schedule impractical. The reviewer highlights issues with unreliable public chargers, slow charging speeds beyond 80%, and the overall inconvenience compared to the seamless Tesla Supercharger network. Additionally, the reviewer notes the significant profit made on the Mach-E due to the inflated used car market, making the switch financially advantageous. The GR86 is praised for its lightweight, nimble handling, engaging driving dynamics, and affordable track capability, making it ideal for the reviewer's desire to return to track days and compete in the 86 Cup series without incurring high running costs. While acknowledging the Mach-E's low operating costs for daily commuting, the reviewer ultimately prioritizes the fun and engagement offered by the GR86.
