    The price difference between the car I have and an EV is considerably more than 7K. Also, 7K is quite a lot.

      That’s new, there is also used. But the fact is you can’t compare it to your junker since, like I said, no one is asking you to switch right away.

      The 7k seems like a lot but it isn’t since you get it back quickly with the savings on maintenance and gas.

        Except the comment I originally replied to literally said it was better for the environment to trade in my car rather than drive it until it dies.

          Yes it is, and that’s a step to take if you can, but no one is saying you are a bad guy if you don’t.

          It’s being an oil industry mouthpieces that is the problem.
