Everyone that’s pissy about someone buying an ICE vehicle right now fails to realize issues like this. I’d love to save money while helping the environment by buying electric, but the barrier to entry is way too high still.
I need an AWD for winter driving, cargo space for my job, 100+ miles of range for frequent trips to visit friends and family, and for it to not be owned by Elon Musk.
That leaves like 9 options in the EV market and none of them qualify for my state’s tax credit or the federal tax credit now. So I really have no choice if I’m wanting to keep my payment equal to or lower than the $300/mo I’m paying right now.
