The Electric Vehicle (EV) discussion thread (Merged)

I know this will come as a shock to some posters here that can afford $100k+ vehicles but... When (According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor), the average U.S. annual salary in Q4 of 2023 is $59,384... affording a vehicle that's $40k is out of reach... a price difference of $5k is a deal breaker... when you don't own a house and can't supply a charging station, even a used EV isn't an option... Without charging infra outside most high-population areas... If you don't use the EV for commutes only... How do you make consistent necessary long distance trips without buying a secondary ICE vehicle? Is there an EV that's going to pull my 8k lbs camper, 4wheeler, pontoon boat, and make it through the mud (new or used) that I can get for under $80K?

lol- you just talked about median income in one sentence.

then ended the thought with the EV ability to pull your travel trailer ( $25,000 ), your ATV ( $8000 ) and your pontoon boat ( $50,000 ) and you complain about the price of the vehicle used to pull these items? ( average pricing- could be more depending on year/make/model )

Oh and yes...there is.

Rivians R1T- 11k towing capacity. 2022 goes for about $60k.
