I paid $6000 cash for my current car about eight years ago. I’m retired, so I only drive it about once a week. I’ve put less than 2000 miles per year on it. Also, no cameras, no screen, no phone app, no nothing I don’t need or want.
There’s no way I’m buying a $30,000 car, both because I couldn’t afford it, and because what I have fits my needs perfectly.
So, are EVs “just better”? For some people, or maybe most, I imagine so. But, no, not for me, not unless the VW boss wants to give me one for free.
One of the benefits of the EV incentives was that growing the EV market faster also meant growing the used EV market faster. You’re going to have to wait another ten years now
The arguement wasnt about price, its about what is a better vehicle for the average driver.
I love cars, and im mourning the death of the manual transmission. But i bought an EV for my daily. Its just a better daily use car. Less maintenance, lots of convenience, no extra cost in gass prices and technically faster than my toy car. It doesnt give me the driving experience i want, but grabbing takeout, or sitting in traffic, its just better.

VW is not really in the business of selling $6,000 used cars. “EVs are better (for people buying new cars)” says exec of company that sells new cars
You will be left without gas for it though. That’s the key thing.
Apples and Oranges my firend.
You can also buy used ev’s for less than $6k.
