I mean, I feel like not having the capital is a good reason. It's hard to find affordable EVs. The used market, while less crazy than it was, is still not great for EVs, st least in my area.

Im a huge fan of EVs, though, and if I owned a car it would be an EV.

Almost nobody has the capital to buy a new car, they are mostly financed.

It's still an expensive vehicle either way, my total avg car maintenance cost + fuel is about $120/month, an EV is just far too expensive to think about.
