First of all, your author is not planning to purchase an EV. But if I were a younger John Benson, with a commute into Silicon Valley, I would be considering one. Thus, what I will be looking for is an inexpensive EV with a decent range. My criteria for “inexpensive” is a base price under $40,000, including delivery charges but not tax and license, and this is per the manufacturer’s web site. Also, the $40K does not include federal or state rebates.
