Still too expensive for your average Joe, unfortunately.
Even with all the extra costs, I can still get an older ice car cheaper. I just bought an 07 Honda Fit for $1300, plus a few hundred for some suspension work I did myself. The thing runs like a champ, and I’m averaging 42.5mpg.
I wish I could have an EV, but it’s just not cost effective yet. I plan to put another 100k on this Honda before reconsidering the market.
I love the idea of EVs, drove one for awhile, but as a note, tires do wear out faster on EVs because they are heavier.
But yes gas is more expensive in most areas, and EVs save on brakes with regen.
and oil changes, and transmission fluid, and alternator rebuilds… the complexity of ICE vehicles alone will be their downfall.
All true.
