I'm sure electricity and insurance is also free!

    To be fair to Pete, the options for affordable EVs are growing by a lot every year. With the way used car prices are right now, they still aren't as affordable as many people need them to be, but it's a bit disingenuous to say that an overpriced Tesla is the only option.

    But yes, of course a good public transportation system blows any govt plan for more affordable EVs out of the water.

      Charging an ev at home is basically just a homeowner thing, unless apartments are installing chargers.

        Good point. I can also say this drove me away from purchasing an EV recently when I needed a new car.

      40k is more than an average new car bought in the US.

      Unless an EV is between 15-20k with a range of 300-350 miles per charge I both cannot afford one nor would it be what I need for the distances I generally have to drive for work
