I've always sort of envisioned that oil would become "motorcycle / classic car fuel" and whatever ugly cars normal people end up buying in the next 20 years would run on electricity generated by a combination of some sort of next-gen nuclear, wind, and solar. There's enough petrolheads that will gladly pay $20/gallon to take their Camaro to the track on weekends.

I'm waiting to see what the used market is going to look like for EVs.

I could easily squeak by w/ current electric car tech. I only need 40 miles a day to cover my routine.

The problem is that I can afford $500-$5000 used cars -- I can't justify spending $20,000+ on a new car.

That being said: I'd like an EV as soon as I can fit it in my budget -- I'm a petrolhead, and I need to do my part to ensure there's fuel left for my hobbyist vehicles and all the supercars I know and love.
