Never really thought it about that. Very valid point, some people just getting by for whatever reason probably won't be able to afford electric anytime soon. To that point even used an electric vehicle would at some time need new batteries at the least. Don't think that cost would come down enough for those that currently drive the $free-$???? priced vehicles could afford. Think recently the cost was close to putting a new engine in a vehicle when needed. Excellent point sir!
If I remember right when the government did "cash for clunkers" it affected the cost of lower end vehicles. Some people complained couldn't find affordable vehicles. So I agree with out getting in to it politics can play a huge roll when it comes to autos.
