$7.25 minimum wage

Walmart is paying about $14

not sure cheaper, smaller EVs will help spur adoption better wages will

It's almost like the people who buy EVs are doing it to save money.

The money saving is the bait on the hook, but once you change there is no return. It's just so much better in every way

Can confirm. Was shopping around for cars, and settled on either a 2023 WRX Limited, or a fully loaded 2022 Polestar 2. Both around $37k in the US. Chose the Polestar, and now I don’t have to pay for gas, let alone premium gas

Also I heard that EVs are alot cheaper to maintain, due to rare malfunctions, because so few moving parts in the car.

It was even a big topic at my local mechanic because they didn't earn any money on EVs.

Sounds amazing for consumers.

nah, they've made their evil choice, just let me import a small cheap EV from some country that cares. Just liquidate US automakers churning out larger and larger ICE trucks and SUV's.

Honestly, I'd love a smart car sized EV. If I'm just running errands I don't need my truck (it's a Santa Cruz, not a gas guzzler).

And my wife has to commute 40 miles a day, which makes her jeep kinda impractical.

I do miss smaller cars and if they were electric too? Count me in! The 80's economy cars were the best.

Because those will sell great in a market filled with massive SUVs and pickup trucks.
