Electric cars now drive farther, charge faster and come in nearly every price range.But when GMC began promoting its Hummer EV pickup truck to be released this year, it became even clearer that electric cars are primed to go mainstream.Once the domain of environmentalists, then early adopters, EVs may soon have even truck bros kicking the gasoline habit.With many models now available or coming soon — including a knockoff of the lovable Volkswagen Microbus — you may be wondering if it’s finally time to buy or lease an EV.Here are the essential questions to answer before you do.(Full disclosure: I’m a convert myself after six years and 70,000 gas-free miles.)1. Can you afford an electric car?EVs tend to be pricy to buy but can be more affordable to lease. Finding federal, state and local government incentives can also reduce sticker shock. And, even if the monthly payment is higher than a comparable gas car, operating costs are lower.Gas vehicles cost an average of ,356 per year to fuel, tax and insure, while electric cost just ,722, according to a study by Self Financial.

How far do you need to drive on a single charge?Although almost 60% of all car trips in America were less than 6 miles in 2017, according to the Department of Energy, the phrase “range anxiety” scared many would-be early adopters.Teslas became popular in part because they offered 250 miles of range. But the range of many EVs between charges is now over 200 miles; even the modestly priced Chevrolet Bolt can travel 259 miles on a single charge.Still, EVs have a “road trip problem,” according to Josh Sadlier, director of content strategy for car site Edmunds.com. “If you like road trips, you almost have to have two cars — one for around town and one for longer trips,” he says.3. Where will you charge it?If you live in an apartment without a charging station, this could be a deal breaker.The number of public chargers increased by 60% worldwide in 2019, according to the International Energy Agency. While these stations — some of which are free — are more available, most EV owners install a home station for faster charging.EVs can be charged by plugging into a common 120-volt household outlet, but it’s slow. To speed up charging, many EV owners wind up buying a 240-volt charging station and having an electrician install it for a total cost of ,200, according to the home remodeling website Fixr.4. What will you use the car for?While there are a few luxury electric SUVs on the market, most EVs are smaller sedans or hatchbacks with limited cargo capacity. However, the coming wave of electric cars are more versatile, including vans, such as the Microbus, and trucks, such as an electric version of the popular Ford F-150 pickup.5. Do you enjoy performance?This is where EVs really shine. According to automotive experts, electric cars beat their gas counterparts in these ways:Immediate response with great low-end acceleration, particularly in the 0-30 mph range.Sure-footed handling due to the heavy battery mounted under the car, giving it a low center of gravity.No “shift shock” from changing gears in a conventional gas car’s transmission.Little noise except from the wind and tires.Other factorsOnce you consider the big questions, here are other reasons to make an electric car your next choice:Reduced environmental guilt. There is a persistent myth that EVs simply move the emissions from the tailpipe to the power generating station. Yes, producing electricity produces emissions, but many EV owners charge at night when much of the electricity would otherwise be unused. According to research published by the BBC, electric cars reduce emissions by an average of 70%, depending on where people live.Less time refueling. It takes only seconds to plug in at home, and the EV will recharge while you’re doing other things. No more searching for gas stations and standing by as your tank gulps down gasoline.No oil changes. Dealers like a constant stream of drivers coming in for oil changes so they can upsell other services. EVs have fewer moving parts and require fewer trips to the dealership for maintenance.Carpool lanes and other perks. Check your state regulations to see if an EV gets you access to the carpool lane, free parking or other special advantages.Enjoy the technology. Yes, EVs are more expensive, but they also tend to offer top-of-the-line comfort, safety features and technology compared with their gas counterparts.More From NerdWalletDon’t Return Your Leased Car — Sell ItZooming More, Driving Less: When to Ditch Your CarIs That Nearly New Salvage-Title Car Really a Deal?Philip Reed is a writer at NerdWallet.

Facebook says it will flag all ‘newsworthy’ posts from politicians that break its rules, including those from President Donald Trump. CEO Mark Zuckerberg had previously refused to take action against Trump posts suggesting that mail-in ballots will lead to voter fraud. Twitter, by contrast, slapped a “get the facts” label on them. Facebook is also banning false claims intended to discourage voting, such as stories about federal agents checking legal status at polling places. The company also said it is increasing its enforcement capacity to remove false claims about local polling conditions in the 72 hours before the U.S. election. 647

ESCONDIDO, Calif. (KGTV) — The sign out front Andre Villa's Escondido home says "heartbreak," though a visit brings anything but.The location of family gatherings and holidays is highlighted by one very obvious attraction: "The Heartbreak Hotel."Villa's yard and home are adorned with thousands of pieces of memorabilia spanning the 1950s. Everything from Big Boy, to Coca-Cola signs, a gumball machine, and much more. It's a beacon at 622 Utah Street that can’t be missed and is always seeing an addition.Even unwelcome ones.RELATED: Carlsbad Flower Fields explode with color in spring opening"The sign says 'The Heartbreak Hotel,'" Villa started. "I've had people looking for rooms in the middle of the night, knocking on the door."Villa recalled one couple who "walked right in" while they were watching television.But there are only three icons worthy of taking up so much space at Villa’s home: James Dean, Elvis, and Marilyn Monroe.Villa’s habit for collecting began as a child with James Dean magazines and growing to movie posters, but his love of cinema really catapulted his penchant for the icons.RELATED: Convoy Street rooster mural highlights efforts for future neighborhood archway"The love for movies grew more and more, and it just kind of helped out to put everything together as 'The Heartbreak Hotel' from the love of movies as kid," Villa said. "It's still out of control and I'm still having a great time."As years have gone by, he's continue to find things at retail and antique stores, even getting calls from sellers from time to time about a new item perfect for the home.And despite facing the obvious challenge of where to put everything, Villa’s habit doesn’t appear close to slowing — though, not for lack of trying. He's currently looking at making an inventory of everything he has and downsizing, just not all at once."I would hate to part with any of it right now, but I think it's time. But I'm not talking about tomorrow, and hopefully not for another five to 10 years, depending on what I got left in me here," Villa said. "I'd really hate to part with a lot of it ... I'd rather part with a little bit now, than to depart and have everyone scramble around figuring out what they're going to do with it."RELATED: Break from town: Where to take a day trip from San DiegoBut for family and friends who have lived with the vibrant showcase of decades past, the home will always be more than a pop culture time capsule.

And he's more than happy with his home's continued popularity."I'm tickled to death with it right now," Villa said. 2856

ENCINITAS, Calif. (KGTV) - A beloved custodian at an elementary school in Encinitas is recovering after a spider bite led to an amputation."He's happy. He's smiling. Thankful he's alive," said Megan Luce, PTA President at Park Dale Lane Elementary School.Guil Aguilar has been a custodian at the school for more than five years."His spirits are so high when I visited," said Luce.Luce says his ordeal began at work, just before Thanksgiving break. Aguilar says as he was moving trash cans near a dumpster, he saw spiders but didn't think anything of it. After he left the area, he felt a twinge in his foot. He went with family to visit relatives in Arizona during Thanksgiving and his bite began to swell. He was admitted into a hospital, then transferred to an Encinitas hospital, where doctors diagnosed him with a venomous spider bite. The type of spider is unknown. The treatment was not enough."There was an infection that they tried to clean out. The infection resulted in amputation of his foot and partial leg," said Luce.Luce says Aguilar handled the difficult news by focusing on the bright side."He was okay with it. He'd rather his foot be gone than his life," said Luce.As news of his ordeal spread, parents at the school rallied."I was heartbroken. He's such as an amazing, amazing person ... Always happy. He's always there to help. Goes over and beyond what he's supposed to do at the school," said Luce.The parents organized a meal train and a Gofundme campaign to help his family, including his five children, with expenses."He's not just a janitor. He's part of the community and part of the Park Dale Lane family," said Luce.The Encinitas Union School District issued the following statement: "The situation that you are inquiring about involves one of our employees and is currently under investigation by the District. Due to privacy rights and confidentiality laws, we are unable to provide an update on the employee ... In an abundance of caution, the District has taken the necessary precautions to ensure that all areas of campus have been inspected and are safe.
