You regularly use the term affordable EV to exclude the Tesla Model 3 from EV comparisons. The average new truck in the U.S. costs $48K, does that mean that trucks are not affordable? Because over 2 million Americans who bought new pickup trucks last year would disagree with you. I used the Hyundai EV as an example because it is one of the few under $40K, long range EVs that are being sold today, and particularly because my friend actually bought one recently, so the discussion is not entirely academic. I do understand an appreciate your coverage of EVs like the Bolt, Leaf, and Prius Prime that can have a combination of incentives available in certain regions that bring their out the door prices down to the level of a gas powered Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. But I think that seeing that Model 3 buyers are largely moving up from those same economy cars into their first EV, that you should not exclude cars like the Model 3 because it costs a few thousand more, or cars like the Hyundai/Kia EVs because they don't sell enough of them, or even the Clarity EV because it doesn't have the EV range of the others.
