    I mean, some people can’t buy because they can’t afford them. Average EV prices in the US are still quite high.

      This is by design. They dont want EVs to be popular, so they make them unaffordable to prevent widespread adoption. They dont even sell entry level EVs in the US. The Leaf may be the only exception.

      Exactly this. I’d love an EV, but I can’t afford to buy one and can’t afford the required upgrade to my hosue to charge on here.

      I think a lot of people on Lemmy forget how much half of the population makes for salary. A lot of Lemmy’s claim they got jobs that paid around $85K right out of college. Most of the population has never made that on any job in their life.
