    A year ago dealers were demanding “market adjustments” thousands of dollars over the sticker price.

    Hopefully we can get second or third hand and we can get replacement batteries. Once we get solid state and can plug and play. Until then they are out of reach for most.

      In my experience most middle class folks buy new cars, for some reason. A brand new EV that isn’t a Tesla is comparable to gas counterparts. For example, a brand new Chevy Bolt starts at $26,500 minus an EV tax credit of $7500. The Chevy Trax is similar in size and features and starts at $20,400. I think we’ll continue to see prices on EVs drop til they’re identical to gas powered cars within a few years.

        Really. Who’s dropping 20k on a car that goes from a to b the same as a 10k car and probably a 5k car
