I’ve never owned a car before in my life. I might need to one soon. Budget is $40k. Here are the things I’m considering:
- I want to go all-electric
- Not Tesla because fuck Elon.
- Requires as little maintenance as possible.
- Has the lowest environmental impact (both in terms of construction of the vehicle and in terms of energy use) as possible
Maybe a chevy bolt, mini’s ev models, or a nissan leaf.
If you’re fine with plug in hybrids, you could also look at prius prime. It has a 44 mile ev only range and switches to hybrid when the battery runs out.
