Been driving Synthetic Fuels for a year now. Doesn’t have to be EV - there are more ways to curb Fossile Fuels. Funny enough, the Synthetic Fuels are going to be cheaper in 1-2 years, because of CO2 Taxes…maybe, just maybe, things turn out okay-ish.
Some cars only exist as ICE versions. Closest I can get in a wheelchair accessible minivan is Toyota Sienna Hybrid.
I hadn’t considered how you would modify EVs for wheelchair access. Adding lifts and other stuff can involve a lot of modification and I bet that gets harder when there’s large battery packs.
I know the Chrysler Pacifica has a PHEV version, but I haven’t seen one of those converted for wheelchair access.
Yup, they don’t convert the PHEV because nobody wants the extra hassle for a niche market. I also reached out to Canoo and received no response. VW basically said they’ll let other companies take care of conversions - same as the rest of manufacturers.
And these aren’t cars people change often so since I don’t have any options now that means I’m stuck driving ICE for ~15 years. Sienna with conversion is around $100k.
Some of the oldest cars I see on the road are accessible vans. My ex-BIL is still being hauled around in a late 90s Dodge Caravan. It sucks that electric van makers don’t seem to have considered this.
