Usually you see fancy cars at apartment complexes, and old cars parked in wealthy neighborhoods. I wonder why?

It seems most of what would be a defect in an EV would be the battery, and that is usually easy to track. Either they catch on fire or they degrade quickly.
I'm very interested in getting an EV for my next car even though I rent and don't have level 2 charging at my house. Sadly EV's are still slim pickings. For my budget, there's the Bolt and the... Well I think that's just about it. And I wouldn't even get the tax credit and don't know of anyone who would and who would let me buy one in their name either.
So, full priced Bolt or I'll just keep driving the car I have for now.
