The picture would of course look very different if manufacturers had chosen to make smaller inexpensive electric sedans.

    So, it stands to reason an EV sedan would create even less pollution than an EV SUV, right? Where’s my EV sedan? lol

        Mind sharing? lol. I’m looking to upgrade my hybrid in the near future, and hoping to go EV.

        Requirements are basically:

        • Not a Tesla (don’t want to pad Musk’s wallet + quality issues)
        • Not a smartphone on wheels (I want buttons lol)
        • Affordable ($40K at the most)

          The Hyundai Ionic 6, the new model if you like buttons.

          Polestar 2, but it doesn’t have many buttons.

          A used BMW or Mercedes, they are too expensive new but you may be able to find a used one in your budget.

          The Nissan Leaf, technically not a sedan but it’s very efficient.

          The Volkswagen ID.7, no price announced yet but it might be too expensive

            Prob the Ionic 6 is the only one that really stands out to me (not a fan of luxury brands). Thanks, will check that one out.

      Yes. But they’re afraid they won’t make as much money if they sell those.

        They know they won’t make as much, because they can’t inflate the price tag as much as they do with trucks.
