Hard disagree.
I'd love to save on gas and maintenance but there's no affordable EVs for a family of 5. I'm not spending 50k+ on a Hyundai crossover.
Yeah, and the the EV9 (3-row) is $60k (not remotely cheap, but the cheapest I'm aware of). It's obviously worth checking the 5-year cost proposition (given fuel vs. electricity pricing), but if the math doesn't work out for your driving needs, then you're pretty well out of options for now.
Yeah, the bolt is really the only cheap EV, and it's not really suited for a family of five. (Though it does have five seats)
