Why would you want a car that can be used only for those tasks leaving you to seek other forms of transport for leisure and family?
The main positive factor of vehicle ownership is destination and route flexibility and if you trade that away then the advantage is gone.
- rightbyte 4y agoThe main cost for cheap 2nd hand cars is the fuel in my experience. So you can have a cheap fuel commuter car and a "real" car for trips and towing your boat. Requires parking for two cars though. But since we are talking about an EV it requires a house anyways since most apartments have no charging.
- iasay 4y agoYeah but you can manage the fuel within your cash flow. Difficult to get credit and manage the purchase of a large expensive car. And having two cars is too expensive as well.
- rightbyte 4y agoTrue. The setup kinda requires that you need two cars in the first place.
- jsjohnst 4y ago> And having two cars is too expensive as well. Maybe so, but the average American family has about 2 cars. Lots of sources for that, but here’s one from top of search results: https://housegrail.com/how-many-cars-does-the-average-american-own/ https://housegrail.com/how-many-cars-does-the-average-americ...
- qwytw 4y agoSome families have to 2, 3 or even 4 cars. So it might not be such a bad idea.
