but in the EV market that's slim pickings right now

In the USA, sure. In other countries, there's plenty of EVs in the US$15-30k range. Kinda sad that the US doesn't get the cheap Chinese EVs because they're quite good. I've driven some MG and BYD EVs in Australia and I would have bought one if they were available in the USA.

It's just lobbyists and politics ruining progress. I'm aware what we're missing out on but, you know, there are considerably worse things about being American right now so... picking battles.

There's a chance I'll end up in Japan but I heard similar issues there.
