They add a bunch of mandatory "options" but even without them the price is inflated on a pure electric. Seems like less complicated then making a hybrid yet they are crazy the extra they charge. It's like they are factoring in state and federal kickbacks and just preemptively taking those for themselves. I would buy an electic even with a short range as a 3rd car but not at those prices. Maybe the Arcimoto, because in addition to more affordable it looks fun.
The range anxiety is real unless it is your 2nd or 3rd car. Most days you are fine but if you have just one car it needs to be capable every day. I have searched my whole life for that best do everything car, good economy, works in Montana winters, holds 6 people occasionally, can do cross county trips, can tow 7500 pounds. I wish they made a simple, bare bones, reliable GL350 or if the US could get the diesel 4runners or landcruisers, then I would go with that and an electric.
