    People aren’t going to realize EV’s are better until the can actually afford one.

    Also, maybe one day America will get their heads out of their ass and realize that public transportation is better EV’s.

      All noise aside, now appears to be a great time to pickup 24 model year EVs coming off dealer leases being sold Certified Pre-Owned with factory warranties (10 yr battery) in check. The depreciation is absurd and with the Federal rebate incentive gone the depreciation table will begin normalizing moving forward. Seeing people pickup 24 Lyriqs and Blazers with 19.2 KW/H port upgrades with 15-20k miles for 55-60% under 2024 MSRP/sticker. No brainer imho

      You can get an EV for about 5k nowadays.

      Agree on the public transportation, tho.

          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.
