Yes completely agree. Especially the price, most people don't want to pay or can't afford a 45-50k usd car after subsidies. (This is the minimum pricepoint to get something comparable to an average gas car, both trim wise and to get an at least acceptable range)

And let's be honest about the subsidies, they just allow the car companies to charge a higher price in the first place.. I expect the price to be about the same after they are gone.

Got a Chevy Bolt EUV for 31K

Ok thats a good deal. Exception to the rule 😅 Sadly it is discontinued since the end of 2023.

yup. But it proves the whole cost issue is corporate BS greed. Much like GM's new "no android auto or carplay" infotainment to force onstar subscription plan.
