With a combined income and $0 down 84 month financing a reality these days, you'd be surprised what people can "afford." My neighborhood has quite a disproportionate number of similarly priced new cars sitting in driveways of run-down houses.

However, it's been established that Ali still has the Leaf.

My neighborhood has a lot of newer cars out front, because the value of the houses has been kept low for various reasons (bad school district, small size and small yards compared to 2016 standards, close proximity to the 'urban' element, many buyers get them from family for cheap), so when you only spend $75,000 on a house you have a fair amount of income leftover to spend on more car than you need, especially when you leverage that into more and more credit.

I'm kind of surprised the desire for a pretentious electric car won out over the desire for car-free hipster cred. I wonder if creditors can use the satnav to find and repo the car when they fall behind on the payments?

(I actually like the Leaf, just not with sub-100 mile range and costing at least 50% more than a comparable gasoline powered car from anyone else)
 
As I said before, Ali bought a $40k car with the build quality and amenities of a $17k car for PNW hipster street cred. I hope the limited range and long recharge times are worth it.

It leads one to believe an electric motorcycle would perhaps be the best of both worlds. I brought up motorcycles before as an example of a more interesting and cheaper vehicle of choice. An electric one would retain the 'street cred', to use the parlance of today's youth, whilst also incorporating the Eco friendly appearance of a zero emissions vehicle.

-Ignoring the fact they're not really zero emissions due to the fact the electricity has to come from somewhere. Most likely a coal power plant, which is the primary source in most of America. But let's be honest, that doesn't actually matter to hipsters so much as does the appearance of being evironmentally friendly does.
 
With her diet and lack of exercise there is only one electric vehicle she should be recommended.

It's Alison's backstory that endears her to her lickspittle speds. She's such a broken-brained disaster that the love-shys think Alison can "identify with them".

If they hired a scary, real life hooker, they'd run the risk of being laughed at and belittled for their social incompetence and inadequate genitalia.

Alison, on the other hand, the speds can smell the sperge coming off her, and they know she's "like them". It comforts them to be amongst their own kind.

Apologizing in advance for off-topic:

Not happening until they invent a better way of storing energy or make electric motors even more efficient (which is hard to imagine). Buddy of mine is an electrical engineer and one of his college projects was to rework an existing vehicle for electric power. His take on it was we need a technology that allows us to store 10x the energy in a similar size/weight package we currently have, then electric vehicles will be viable for something other than short-range joyrides.

I kinda do want to try an electric roadbike though. 2 wheel drive and a flat torque curve with no shifting from 0 to 150 sounds interesting.

There are a few electric scooters and sports bikes. You either get performance or range. Take your pick

Nah, they're coming, and relatively soon. Even Harley has a prototype that (supposedly) can travel between 100-140 miles on a charge and go from 0-60mph in less than 4 seconds. (It's the bike that Black Widow was riding in Age of Ultron if anyone's interested)

The problem is the same one that electric cars have. Even with tax breaks for buying them, the extra cost and hassle are still too much to make it worth buying them over a gas-powered alternative for the average person. This has even more of a effect with motorcycles, when they are already getting upwards of 50mpg a lot of the time. I ride my bike everywhere I go, daily, and spend about $40 a month in gas. Where's the incentive to pay an extra $10K on a motorcycle to save that?

tl;dr- Just as with electric cars, for the foreseeable future, people who buy electric motorcycle are going to be either those with too much money, or hipsters looking for cred... Maybe Alison can get one of her patreons to buy one for her

Electricity isn't sustainable in the long run anyway. People seem to be forgetting how much of a hassle it is to mine for the materials for batteries, and the logistics in creating the electricity to charge those millions upon millions of batteries.
The most likely scenario is either synthetic renewable gasoline that current engines can run on, or Hydrogen fuel cells.
 
Or people who want 100% of the engine's torque at 0 RPM. I rode a Zero, and even at the "eco" setting, full throttle felt like someone was standing on my chest. I seriously considered it. It had a claimed 100+ mile range and cost under ten grand.

None of this matters though because Ali is not buying a motorcycle, motorcycles are not for everybody, especially non-enthusiasts living in a rainy area. This all started from Harukadoshi's off-topic sperging like two pages ago. To get things back on topic:

Ali is getting fat and I would not have sex with her.
 
Ali should get a motorcycle and that way Ali, Quinn, and Wu could form the world's most untalented biker gang.

On a side note,
I'm not at all surprised that someone like her would own a Nissan Leaf. I was an engineering tech for a company that worked on a wireless charging system for electric vehicles (don't ask me how long the charge times were compared to the plug-in, because the shit never worked) and the Leaf was one of the cars we worked on in the lab. I fucking hate those things and the people who drive them.

Around this time last year, there was some kind of recall for the Leaf IIRC. I was so happy to bail on that company before I had to drive the Leaf to the next town to get it serviced. Let someone else get fucking stranded.
