I got a 2007 A6 Allroad Quattro for 1.8k. Let me know when I can get an EV for that price, with highway cruising range (I get about 1000 km on a tank but I’d find 400-500 acceptable on an EV).
So far the closest and most tempting are old Tesla Model S, which I could get for 15k, but I’m not a fan of touchscreens, I prefer a proper interior. And not sure I should give money to someone who bought a car off Elon Musk and will likely do it again. Runner up is Jaguar I Pace which is super cheap because… Jaguar decided to pretend its old lineup doesn’t exist and is discontinuing parts production.
Even then, being able to charge at home is incredibly privileged. Not everyone lives in a single-family home. I do, but if I didn’t, charging would cost as much as fuel before the Iran war.

Just because you can’t do it doesn’t make it a bad decision
