I actually leased it first for $270/month but I liked it so much I bought it.
With the Niro EV my payment is $570/month and electricity costs me $30 a month. I'm on track for 30,000 miles a year since I suddenly want to take more road trips since they're so cheap. I'm going on a 3000 mile road trip coming up here soon with it. Total cost of the car was $33k+tax.
That being said, after driving a model 3 LR I'd get one in a heartbeat if this car is totaled today, even though it has less headroom in the back for camping, and it only tows 2000 lbs vs 2866 which would be inconvenient for me. A model 3 would cost $43k used if I'm patient.

Was that a used Niro EV? I can only find used ones from 2019 at those prices.
