When lower-income households face affordability barriers, it’s not just their problem – it’s the missing link to achieving a full switch to electric vehicles.
Nope. I happily drove a geo metro, and I longed for a smart car for year. That particular vehicle isn’t available in the US, either. But thanks for the assumption!
Look at us, being all nice to each other and understanding and shit! The fediverse really does bring out the best in us reddit expats, doesn’t it?
And yeah, nah. Giant ass trucks abound for sure. A big part of that is our stupid ass laws, but also there’s absolutely a culture of it. I drive the smallest truck we could find, a Nissan frontier, and the year model I have is twice the size of the one from a decade prior. It’s insane. But we had to have either a truck or van to transport my mom’s power wheelchair, and the vans are just simply so far outside our price range as to not even be worth considering. Even second hand. Hell, I found several with no motors in them that were still far too expensive.

I’m gonna go ahead and apologize for being snippy. I had just woken up, and I’ve got a fever. Think I misread your intent a bit.

I don’t believe I have ever seen a Dacia on the road in North America.
The options to buy a smaller EV are extremely limited here.
