You can get an EV for about 5k nowadays.
Agree on the public transportation, tho.
In America??
In my area in the US there are several $5k used EVs with <30k miles on them. I'm kind of surprised people complain so much about EV affordability especially when you consider that maintenance costs are so much lower than ICE cars.
Yes. I know the EU models best, but look at used bolts and leafs. Maybe the odd egolf or 500.
