When lower-income households face affordability barriers, it’s not just their problem – it’s the missing link to achieving a full switch to electric vehicles.
Honestly, I live in a mostly rural area. It’s 40 miles to the biggest large town/city, I’m 15 minutes to a grocery store. I’m lucky to work from home, but before that, I worked 20 minutes away. Even something with only an 80 mile range would do what I need it to do, so long as I can charge in public. I wouldn’t like having that range, but I’d take it. IF IT DIDN’T COST AS MUCH AS A SHITTY HOUSE. Seriously, give us some cheap EVs that people can upgrade from later on and sell in the secondary market so poor folk like me can buy the equivalent of 98 Toyota Corolla.
Nope. I happily drove a geo metro, and I longed for a smart car for year. That particular vehicle isn’t available in the US, either. But thanks for the assumption!

I don’t believe I have ever seen a Dacia on the road in North America.
The options to buy a smaller EV are extremely limited here.

I’m gonna go ahead and apologize for being snippy. I had just woken up, and I’ve got a fever. Think I misread your intent a bit.
