Comment on Europe is looking to fight the flood of Chinese electric vehicles. But Europeans love them
Addv4@kbin.social 8 months agoThe problem with that is that phevs are surprising expensive/heavy/complicated. It's why Chevy discontinued the volt over the bolt. And why the chevy had to cut a lot of costs on the volt to get it down to a semi-acceptable price (the volt didn't even have power seats except on the Premier, and only on the drivers side).

Honestly, I prefer not to have power seats. It's faster to adjust manual seats in my experience and there's both fewer things to break and less weight.

I’ve found I can never get a manual seat just right myself, they’re either slightly too far forward, or slightly too far back.
Electric let’s you get it just right

Does that midpoint between 2 steps really make such a difference? 🧐
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Yes, yes it does.

Agreed. Although having seat settings linked to individual fobs is nice. If you share a vehicle you don’t have to mess around with all the settings every time. Moot point though.
