One problem is I don’t trust the asshole drivers around me to not damage my expensive vehicle. The other problem is that I don’t have $800/m to throw away on a vehicle that loses that much in value every month.
I don’t need all of these fancy features. I need a basic bitch car that gets me from point a to point b and has enough trunk space for groceries.
So what you’re saying is you won’t buy any new car, EV or not. What is the point of your comment?
I have two cars and both those payments combined are under $500. I’m not paying $800 a month for one damn car.
Right?! I pay $380 a month for my car, a very comfortable and efficient Kia Forte. Sometimes I take a look at other cars that are around $30k, only $5k more than I paid for the Kia, and somehow the car payments are $600 a month! Not even sort of worth it
What I’d really like is an electric car that is a bit larger than a podbike. Or classified as a L7e or motorcycle. Something ultra light (<100kg) and can drive up to 80km (50mph).
Or alternatively allow bicycles / velomobiles to have pedal assist driving up to 50kmh(30mph) and 500W motors.
They are in it for the money, not for combating climate change.
That’s because of inequality. It’s the same in most industries now - if you want to make money you have to be in the luxury market. Working people have been bled dry.
