@Hypx I am a relatively poor person in Australia, but I've been into electric bicycles and following BEV developments for years, and while I'm poor I'm still reasonably good at saving money. I imported a second hand 10yo EV from Japan. The battery it came with still had years of life in it, but I upgraded for range and will use the old battery in an offgrid home system. Overall my investment beyond the cost of an equivalent ICE vehicle will pay itself back in about 5 years, and beyond then I'm continuing to benefit from massively cheaper "fuel" and the vehicle will likely last another decade and beyond (an Aussie owned Tesla recently broke 700,000km, with a battery swap at 666,666km).
A brand new BEV from a different Japanese auto co is slated for this year with a brand new battery, which will be about 2/3 the cost of my 10yo BEV + upgraded battery. I'm considering upgrading to that.
Keep trying to tell people BEVs are not for poor people... I'm proof that is absolutely not true.
