      You’re acting like there aren’t affordable used EVs that would function perfectly well for people in a position to have an EV

      My 2018 Leaf is more than sufficient for the majority of commuters and is cheaper than last year’s Honda Civic. Oh and bonus, a lot of them just had their batteries swapped under warranty due to a manufacturing defect and have a fresh new battery and warranty!

      So, assuming someone either has the ability to charge at home or close to (I lived with this car in an apartment complex for a year so yes even that is possible, if not annoying) then they should be able to locate an affordable EV if that’s their desired engine type
