Trucks are still tricky, but new EVs cars are about the same cost as new ICE cars. Used EVs are basically entirely reasonable and in some cases cheaper than used ICE.

Nothing new is going to beat a paid off car for affordability, but that's a pretty apple to oranges comparison no matter how you slice it.
