Chevy is selling Bolts about as fast as they can (or can afford to) make them. To the tune of something like 70,000 cars a year in the US. Compared to 400k-500k Civics and Crayolas, plus all the other competing compact ICE and hybrid cars.

The number of budget EV choices needs to grow. A lot.

If you can find one, and if the dealer isn’t charging a ridiculous “Market Adjustment.”

Hey mods. If you don’t allow posts meant to bait people why haven’t you deleted this entire thread

Lower end ICE vehicles tend to be the most efficient in terms of MPG, and though there are more lower end vehicles on the road, the cost-benefit to consumers of transitioning from their efficient ICE vehicle to an EV is significantly less whereas the higher end market of SUVs, trucks, and high-performance luxury vehicles are great candidates for the significantly cleaner EV.

I disagree on the price point The average price of a car is too high for the market.

Old used cars are cheap. There just aren’t many old used EVs yet. Just a few Leafs and Tesla S.

People just need to buy used cars. It takes time and the economy getting worse.

We need cheaper EVs, better range, and more chargers.

Hot take: your post has a serious “let them eat cake” vibe, but I suspect you already know that.

“If poor people would just make smart financial decisions, (which require money and access to credit, of course,) they wouldn’t have to be poor…”

…how much do you make annually where you think entry level vehicles SHOULD be 40k+?

disappointed. thought your hot take was worker wages need to rise.

Stay away from my ICE vehicle
