I'd like an electric car (no trains here, roads too rough to cycle) but this sort of thing puts me off. Can I not buy a dumb electric car anywhere?
You can convert an old ICE car for like $10k-$20k. Won't have as much range, but at least it won't be an iPad on wheels.
What's an ice car?
Internal combustion engine
ah
Basically what I'm saying is to buy a car with a dead engine, and ship it off to a company to convert it to an EV.
There are a lot of cars I like but they're impossible to get with sub-200,000 miles, so I've been strongly considering this route.
