Unfortunately, in the US at least, there’s very little choice. If we’re only counting new electric cars(not SUVs) in the low end, there’s basically only Tesla, Chevrolet, Nissan, and Hyundai. Some of the least reliable manufacturers with frequent recalls. And Tesla 3 has the most range and tech out of those for a similar price.

When you get to the $50k+ range, then you have a lot more options with all the high end luxury brands like Audi, BMW, Mercedes, etc., offering EVs.

Sure. I’m upvoting you for accuracy, but anyone buying Musk’s products at this point is knowingly investing in and supporting his ideologies.

Yep, that’s why I went with a non-electric car when I was car shopping earlier this year. I have a 220 mile drive I have to do a few times a month because of my work and Tesla is the only EV which has an epa estimated range that can comfortably deal with that. All the other low end EVs were just so much worse, especially for highway driving, and I refused to condone Musk’s antisemitism.

But I can see people wanting a low end EV with long distance capabilities and having no other choice. It’s either the climate or all of Musk’s shit. Not a clear answer between the two. I decided I was already doing my part and being better for the environment than the avg person by avoiding meat.

Polestar? Though their next model (3) is going to be an SUV.

I went to their website, it says a new polestar 2 starts at $50k and polestar 3 at $85k. Those are the only models listed on their website. That doesn’t count as low end for me.
