    Even assuming those numbers are accurate it’s irrelevant. If I don’t have $60,000 then I can’t buy a $60,000 car even if it would be a sound investment over the long run.

      If you insist on buying a car new instead of second-hand, that’s on you.

          $40k and $60k are YOUR numbers. I subtracted YOUR numbers to get 20k.

        The used market isn’t much better. I can’t afford a $26,000 EV with 100k miles on it. That’s insane.

          sounds like you want a free car.

          A higher budget surely allows for more options and less excuses. In my view, anyone with a 50k budget has no excuse to choose ICE over EV.
