That's my main gripe with EV advocates. I can buy a 30k euros EV, or a 10k euros ICE car AND 20k euros of gas "for free" over the next 10 years (20k is 200 euros per month which is what I can afford for gas and repair).
A lot of people are poor around me, and they can only get the 10k euros car. EVs are a great idea, but it's not for everyone right now.
Yeah, luxury cars cost more. Don't get a luxury EV if cost is a concern.
People on a budget do not buy new cars. Yet EV critics sure are careful not to ever mention second hand EVs. Is that ignorance or strategic ICE promotion?
LOL! I got a downvote for such an obvious comment! I wonder who it's from! 🤣
