1500 mi/yr is nothing, definitely not worth the cost of a new car! Consider many modern cars and especially EVs are expected to last well over 200k mi. The car will rust away before you hit 30k mi. It's impressive to be voluntarily low car in Ohio considering the sorry state of transit and bike infrastructure in Ohio's cities. Pretty difficult with the exception of Cleveland's core. If carshare is unavailable and you really want an EV, I would look at the last generation EVs - used Kia Niro, Chevy Bolt, Hyundai Kona, Hyundai Ioniq (old hatchback, not the 5 or 6), VW eGolf, or a Nissan Leaf if you have a spot to charge. Many of the older models will be under $25,000 used and therefore eligible for an income restricted $4,000 federal tax credit. Took a look through auto trader and there's quite a few used EVs in Ohio that would near $10k with the tax credit. Curious what your primary transportation is - bike or ebike?
