Yes, the median price of a new car in the US is $35,000.
Furthermore, the average age of a new car buyer is nearly 50. I imagine older car buyers are less likely to purchase an EV, or anything else radically different than what they are used to. That's bad news for me, since I only buy used and want the new technology features.
I think a gen I Leaf will be perfect for me though. I don't need more than 50 miles range for local trips, which is what an EV is meant for, and I have many ICE vehicles for hte longer trips.
