Should he or they have gone out and taken a loan out for a 60k car for him to go work at the local super market? That a sound financial decision? This is my whole hang up with EV's, they are unaffordable for young drivers and unaffordable for low middle class folks..An EV would be perfect for my daughter, would totally get her one if it was right for what we need and affordable, it's just not the case.. Chevy Bolt EV $25,600 brand new. One of the cheapest new cars on the market 8 year 100,000 mile warranty. Decent range. Minimum maintenance cost, money savings fuel cost. no not everybody should be in a &60k EV in the budget doesn’t allow. Bunch of EV’s cheaper then 60k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liberals are just as against those that pay income taxes getting credits cause those that pay no income taxes can’t take advantage of the credit…. Much like the “republicans” and “conservatives” here. Those here use the same talking points as the Pochantas’s and AOC’s of our government.

Not saying there aren't some cons/repubs advocating for it but if you open your eyes, since so many are now brainwashed with this scam, it would be near impossible for some of them to win elections if they didn't advocate for green energy/climate change.

Sorry I didn't mean to screw up your personal justification thread ... I mile out most of my vehicles.

Cuz 25k for an Chevy bolt is a super rip off, I paid 30k for a full size Denali pick up 5 years ago..I don't like to get ripped off ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many batteries would that be if it was a EV? Oh and you wouldn't be able to pull that boat far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
