I don't dispute the benefits of the maintenance costs of EVs, and I wasn't aware that they could be acquired at those price points, so thank you for that information. The problem for most people in affordable housing is getting the $ together to buy them in the first place, even at those prices.
Totally! It’s monumental to even pay $6k, but $6k for a dependable car vs a 20 year old gas car with 245,000 miles is life changing, and so is affordable charging for them!
Agreed, but once again, if $6K isn't the average, which you've already admitted it isn't, then touting benefits that few people in affordable housing will ever be able to achieve seems myopically optimistic.
The entire frame is wrong. It shouldn't be ICE vs EVs. SB79 allows people to live near transit. TAP cards cap out at ~$900/year. Less with assistance. Forcing people who can't afford cars to pay for parking spaces is evil.
Yup, that’s why San Diego passed a law to unbundle them 💪🏼. Great to focus on the places actively working to fix this and ask why others, like LA, are struggling. In this case voting these folks out seems like a good remedy.
