What I learned during my research when shopping evs is they seem to outlast ice cars, the batteries dont degrade like people thought they would and keep the majority of their range. Now that I have one I’d probably trust buying a used ev over an ice car, also I already got used to the power so I don’t think I’d ever get an ice car willingly
I think the early Chevy bolts were like the perfect entry ev car. They had a recall on the batteries so they had to be bought back and had new batteries installed and were selling for like $12-15k as basically new with more range than before with the bigger packs. Plus being early evs they were tactile for everything
The 2027 version that just came out is going into the whole subscription stuff too so I think its going to be hard to find a cheap little ev made in the us without that garbage going forward which really sucks and I hope my bolt lives forever
But yeah like you mentioned if you can’t charge reliably at home or work then makes no sense to get an ev
