I help a number of my family and church members with their "clunkers". I keep looking for "cheap" electrics. These EV's are neither cheap, nor cheap to "fuel".
Most of these people live in high density housing with no ability to charge at home. The quick chargers cost more, as some have pointed out, than just fueling with gasoline.
I can find a dozen shops locally who can rebuild my old Geo Metro engine for roughly 1000 USD - installed. Same for the transmission.
Can you replace your battery pack for the same price as a common ICE rebuild?
