Americans continue to buy/lease giant trucks and SUVs whether they can afford them or not. Then they bitch and moan when gas prices go up like clockwork. EVs aren’t really more expensive than what the majority of Americans are currently purchasing.

In fact, people are taking out 80 month loans now, instead of buying something used and/or smaller and cheaper.
