That’s my main gripe with EV advocates. I can buy a 30k euros EV, or a 10k euros ICE car AND 20k euros of gas “for free” over the next 10 years (20k is 200 euros per month which is what I can afford for gas and repair).
A lot of people are poor around me, and they can only get the 10k euros car. EVs are a great idea, but it’s not for everyone right now.
