    I cant use them because there’s 0 infrastructure here for them (eastern eu), I live in a flat so no garage with charger

    And I hate them in general because they’re mostly tech with a giant cost instead of an affordable car. The ones that are affordable also usually come with terrible battery life or other super degraded basic features… At least from my knowledge so far

    They’re also built very unethically in one way or another just like ICE cars…

    All in all I’d rather buy a second hand car and line the pockets of a random dude than contribute to the car giants…

      I see charging stations all over the map in Romania? But yeah, that’s understandable. Just unfortunate that it’s one of those supply/demand problem… no one would see the benefit of building a public charging station near their business if there’s not many people who’d use it.

      If you’re looking at used cars, that can also contribute. There’s basically no service needed, so there’s not as many people like who try to time selling their ICE car before they might need to do some more expensive servicing. And those who are selling for affordable prices are often much older models -> worst technology.

      But that’s all good points. Hopefully in 10 years the used electric market can become somewhat sustainable…
