I really wish there were affordable (sub $35k BEFORE rebate) EVs in the US.

The lack of affordable daily driver EVs is what's slowing down adoption here in the US.

Hell, even in Vietnam and India there are fleets of low cost EVs now.

Addendum:

an EV costs as much as a the median salary in the US in 2023 [0] ($50,000 is the Median wage, and the average transaction price for an EV is $53,000 [1])
