Well, That’s One Way to Sell Americans on Electric Cars. The U.S. has been wary of EVs. As the cost of gas soars, we’re now paying the price.

I guess but the cheapest new EV is less than the most popular new car in my area.

Used EVs are remarkably cheap. The problem is that it still effectively requires you to be able to charge at home, which is not common on cheaper housing.

Yeah, looked at one for around 5K. Good for about 30 miles because the battery pack needs replaced which increases the price by nearly triple.

Exactly, we have two vehicles. One is 11 years old the other is 23 years old.

Bought an old slum lord house for 18K. Doing all the repair work ourselves. Couldn’t afford 1K a month for rent on an apartment

A new car at 900 plus isn’t in the books at all. Plus when it’s 10 years old it will only get 1/4 of the original mileage on a single charge.
