minus-squareDefectus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·23 days agoThankfully I can drive on E85 so I’m not that affected by the price hike. I would love to switch to electric. But can’t afford it. Maybe when the cars come down do 20-30k, then I could start thinking about it
minus-squareApollo98@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·23 days agoLook at the used market! Plenty of EV’s in that price range. For instance: https://www.cars.com/vehicle/153a974c-1ea1-4a76-892e-31032334d488/ All the research and real world usage has shown that EV’s generally last well over 100K miles so you’ll get a lot of usage out of a used EV.
