Bolt is under $30k now. New Leaf ain’t bad. It’s getting there.

There is a Kia Soul EV sold in Canada and UK, but not the US. The rest of Kia/Hyundai's EVs are in the $45k+ range which is just too much for me.

When the second hand EV market gets down to under 8k then I'll finally get one.

I don't think they will unless you buy a skoda citygo or vw up (these are sold in europe) or similar very small city car with less than 100 miles range.

The 40k+ by the time they get down to 8k most likely battery recycling will get better and selling battery separately and the car to scrap will be higher.

But that will be 10 or 15 years away though right? We need better climate policies that help the lower class as well as suburbanites
