    I really wish I could afford an EV but it’s just way out of my price range the damn things are so expensive and they don’t come down in price all that much on the second hand market either.

    I can’t really even get anything from my current car except the scrap metal value. It still works it’s just not a desirable vehicle.

    So for me I’m much better off just keeping this current car until the maintenance of it becomes prohibitively expensive. That’s the problem really, no one’s been incentivized to buy electric vehicles unless they’re in the market for a new car anyway, and have a lot of money so don’t mind spending a bit extra, which is a really limited subset of the population.
