Imagine a realistic scenario by 2030, and we're not far from there, where you want some smallish SUV, Honda CRV, Toyota RAV4, etc. The model you want costs $35,000 in 2025 dollars, about what a nicer one would cost. Meanwhile, an EV that is basically the same in nearly every respect costs $33,000, I think it would merit a look. It would have better acceleration, 300 listed range***, probably better handling, longer brake pad life, and you don't really need it for trips very often.
Our hybrid listed at $40 K, it is a "Lmited" model. So, maybe the EV model "Limited" costs about the same, maybe a bit less. I'd give it a hard look if has prices were $5.
