??? The cheapest new vehicle I've seen is $18k. If you're talking about used vehicles, you can get used EVs even cheaper since they tend to lose value faster. I just checked autotrader, and they have a Leaf with only 40k miles for $9k. You're going to have a hard time finding a decent vehicle of any kind under $5k. I really don't understand what kind of point you're trying to argue about. Yes, vehicles are expensive, but many people need one. I spent most of my life only being able to afford vehicles that barely ran, and repairing them myself (often improvising without having the correct tools).
