How to tell the entire world that you're rich and entitled.

Have you seen the price of electric cars it's ridiculous. No way I can afford one.

Also never mind the fact I have no way of charging it because I only have access to on-street parking. If they really wanted to help they should bring down the cost of their massively overpriced vehicles and also invest in distributing charging points around the country.

Isn't the ultimate plan supposed to be that they'll be at least one charging point and every highway at least every 8 mi?

It depends where you are and what market segment you’re looking in. In NZ you can buy a fully electric MG ZS EV (7 year warranty) for almost the same price as a base model Toyota Camry.

A new Renault Zoe is about 23 000€, which has a driving range of about 400km. Second hand they go for about 10 000€.

Yeah, there are many luxury EV brands, but those aren't the only ones existing.
