...few can afford right now, EV or not. Wages haven't kept pace with vehicle (and other) prices for a long time. This is inevitable. The party is coming to a close, and as the Boomer cash dries up, the next generations won't have the lifetime earnings or employment stability to take up the slack. Bright side - fire sales on leased luxury compact SUVs should be coming at some point.
