idk about the US, but for Canada, there's nothing under $50k, and anything around that mark is not what I want.
I want economical, basic, non-super-smart, halogen headlight, simple to repair, minimal touchscreen, physical driver controls, and at minimum a hatchback (but ideally wagon)
that car doesn't exist. so I'll keep buying used cars and repairing them instead of funneling money to manufacturers for shitty products.
do you guys not get European, Korean or Chinese EVs? or are thw prices of those inflated in Canada?
I guess not?
I went to two websites that claim to help you select an EV in Canada and used those results as the basis of my claims.
I think slate is targeting that niche with their truck
Yep. This is what's up.
When Nokia translates their brick phone design into an electric car, it'll sell like hot cakes.
Until then, we will see how many shitbox Toyota's we can keep running well past 300,000 miles.
The used car market comes a bit later after new car sales gets going. It's taken off here in the UK now, we can buy lots of EVs second hand. I never buy new cars.
