    Everyone I know is jealous of EVs but can’t afford one. Regular cars break down all kinds of dumb ways and there’s great deals to be had if you can fix simple shit. EVs the battery just goes eventually and there’s an inevitable ~$5k bill so that’s kinda the price floor. Not much else to go wrong. 30 year old gas car I’m driving was $100 to haul out of someone’s yard and $600 to get back on the road

    2/3 of Americans still won’t buy them. They love overpaying for overpriced, oversized gas guzzlers. This has all happened before and will probably happen again. This is the country that elects people who want to tear down windmills and solar panels so they can “drill baby drill”.
