I think a lot of people on Lemmy forget how much half of the population makes for salary. A lot of Lemmy’s claim they got jobs that paid around $85K right out of college. Most of the population has never made that on any job in their life.
This is by design. They dont want EVs to be popular, so they make them unaffordable to prevent widespread adoption. They dont even sell entry level EVs in the US. The Leaf may be the only exception.

Used EVs are cheap, or they were when I bought mine a few months back.
21k for a 22 ID 4 pro awd, plus 4k tax refund that costs 48k new. Almost zero maintenance, and I pay about 5 cents per mile.
I charge it with a tier 1 and an extension cord.
