EVs are advancing at a record pace. The median EV range reached 270 miles for 2023 models. That’s 13 miles more than 2022MY vehicles and more than enough to cover the average weekly commute for US drivers.

Automakers are developing new tech and materials to enable electric vehicles to travel longer and more efficiently.

According to EPA data, the median EV range hit 270 miles for ’23 model year vehicles. That’s nearly 200 miles more than where it was ten years ago (82). It’s also plenty for an average weekly commute in the US.

The average US driver travels around 37 miles per day, according to figures from the Department of Transportation.

With an average of 259 miles driven weekly, most EVs have plenty of range to cover your weekly commute. And for homeowners, waking up to a full charge beats stopping at the gas station.

Start savin'!

Also, buy used. Same thing with gas cars, let someone else eat that depreciation and don't contribute to the environmental impact of a whole new vehicle being made if you can get by with used.

But if I buy used that means getting one of the first EVs, while for ICE I don't really care if the car is a bit older with electric a 2018 is vastly inferior to the modern ones, and even these aren't that affordable.

Plenty 2018 EVs that are quality products

EV batteries cost as much as a whole-ass ICE car. MSRP for a Prius battery is $3600.

Where are you getting a car for $3600 that isn't a total piece of crap?

Poors don't drive nice cars, my friend.

I've been perusing Marketplace lately and you can find early oughts cars with some rust and high miles for that. Ive been looking specifically at 2wd Rangers with a wiggle stick.

Where are you getting a car for that cheap?

Early oughts with some rust and high miles.
