Where do you live that you can get an ev for 15k? Just curious is all.

My mistake, I didn't know he meant used. Working in the car industry and leasing an ev. They are the last kind of car I'd buy outright. The problem is that he is trying to sell a reasonably new car for about 12500 cad when the same year camry is in 18-22k. My experience for that is because by the time you go to sell a used ev, you can get a new one for not much more and get the better range, newer battery, and full warranty. That being said, I do desperately wish that the corrupt government would let in other brands, but that'll never happen. It's protectionism.

Most every country on earth that isn't the United States or Canada.

You can barely get a motorcycle for $15k

The fuck? I could get a new cb450 for about $6k here in California.
