If I were janitor at church, I'd be plugging in while cleaning.
I'm not saying it's the perfect solution for everyone, I'm saying low income people are better served by used EVs when they can accommodate them.
Oregon has a $2,500 credit for used EVs to qualifying low/middle income purchasers. That means you can get a $4,500 used EV for ~$2k.
Prices will continue to decline as EVs continue to age, and the newer gen age into the older gen. The Bolt EV is about 4 years old now and not regarded as cutting edge any more. Leases are coming up, and GM has slashed prices to about $25k. I expect to see very good deals in a year or 2 on these 250 mile range EVs.
Just think what will be available 15 years from now when this regulation is supposedly to take effect. The EV industry in reality has only existed for 9 years so far.
