Take it the other way, I&#x27;m not gonna sink $35k on an EV vehicle (plus yearly insurance) when my current SUV costed me about $10k overall (including maintenance), in which I&#x27;m regularly making roadtrips.<p>And for the sake of argument, I just scored a free third hands 17 years old car. I&#x27;m gonna have to fix it, but that&#x27;s gonna be a great beater.<p>Oh, and I&#x27;ll <i>never</i> be able to move by myself, or to move large items (cast iron table saw, drill press, bandsaw etc.) in any EV shit.
