LOTS of off-lease EVs and plug-ins for under $15k (many under $10k with few miles and only 3 years old)
I purchased a new hyundai a few years ago for 16 thousand total. Electric cars have been around since the 1970's. It's 2018 and people are still buying cars that use gas. You would think after 40 years electric cars would be more popular. People seem to love tesla cars. We just need good quality electric cars that even the middle class can afford.
