Seems to me a lot of people who buy electric don't want a gas-guzzler badge on it.

There's a lot of people who aren't interested in projecting an image with the car they drive. They want a cheap, simple car that's easy to get serviced.

The Volkswagen ID.4 costs less and comes with 3 years free charging on Electrify America:
