Kind of ironic that you’re calling people ignorant when you think tens of thousands of dollars is affordable for most folks. A lot of people are struggling even to afford low end used internal combustion engines.
While, $30,000-40,000 might be considered “affordable” by some luckier people, for many, that is not even remotely close to being a financially viable choice The reality for many is that they are completely priced out of being able to buy any new car, never mind an EV.
“Hesitant” or “unable to afford these ridiculous prices”?

How about under $8,000? Because that’s all I can afford.
