My Bolt cost only slightly more to insure than my Prius. It cost about $45k USD and while small for a car in that price range, fares favorably in terms of comfort and feature.
So yeah, a $15k 2003 Camry used exclusively for long haul trips in sequence isn't approachable by EVs yet. But if you compared it to a Fiat 500e that's been used and refurbed (selling in my county for about $13k) and you're NOT constantly doing 280mi trips... you'll find something competitive.
- eltoozero 9y agoIt's not even a range question, it's basic economics of utility vs cost. In this case miles to the dollar. Not to mention the rich aftermarket for dinosaur fueled vehicles, I wouldn't want to break DRM on my car and lose my warranty or worse.
- KirinDave 9y agoA used Fiat 500e was selling for $12000 pre-tax last year when I was shopping. That's pretty damn competitive to other cars in the age range. Yes, a 2004 Camry exists but I'm happy to pay slightly more to radically drop my carbon output.
