A recent survey shows not all Canadians are ready to make the switch to an electric vehicle as they have concerns about charging stations, cold weather and battery life.

Now you can find some all the way down to ~$20K

Still that's like 3-4 times most people's budgets for cars, if they even have a budget.

There are very few used cars for <$7,500 that aren't "As-Is" or should be labelled as such. I know the used ICE market has also softened a bit, but not that much.

When we were looking, I was considering a beater since our last car was a '05 Civic I bought with 120K km from a used car dealer for $5K (plus snow tires & rims). Before it was totaled, with an extra 180K km and over a decade of wear, it was worth more than that. EV prices are insane, but ALL car prices are insane.

Oh 100%, I'm just saying people struggle to even afford ICE used cars, let alone EV ones, that prices are just insane. 20k is like 5 months of rent for a family.
