    New gas cars are 30k and up. Getting a new EV for 40 or a ev used for 25 is totally reasonable.

        Don’t let perfect be enemy of good etc. I tell everyone that a 2 car household needs one electric car. Most families don’t have two cars that need to go 300 miles in a day. Most don’t have one.
        Some could get away with spending 3k for an old one that goes 60 miles but it doesn’t matter because they drive 20.

                I said you could get an old one for 3k that goes 60 miles. You said that was crazy. I provided a random link to a 3k car that can go 60 miles. You snark back. Are you trolling or what?

      Used EVs are cheap. Over $15k and you are doing something wrong.
