    They can’t sell EVs because they cost too fucking much. Everything’s gone up but our wages, but we’re supposed to just keep buying shit anyway? Fuck this economy.

      BEVs are fundamentally more expensive than conventional cars. That is the real problem here. Blaming the dealers won’t change that.

        But not if you take into account the leveled cost of ownership. But it’s an up front cost rather than spread out, so it’s more difficult. Plus the cost can be way lower if people okay with shorter range smaller vehicles.

        I own my 2008 Sentra outright. Why should I take on a car payment just to “go electric” when the car I have still runs well?
