Overview:

Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Now when everyone else on earth is getting them for half that.

Don't let perfect be enemy of good etc. I tell everyone that a 2 car household needs one electric car. Most families don't have two cars that need to go 300 miles in a day. Most don't have one.
Some could get away with spending 3k for an old one that goes 60 miles but it doesn't matter because they drive 20.

Want to set down the crack pipe and point me towards these three thousand dollar EVs?

I said you could get an old one for 3k that goes 60 miles. You said that was crazy. I provided a random link to a 3k car that can go 60 miles. You snark back. Are you trolling or what?
