well if it can't tow anything then forget about it.

I think the sweet spot for EVs are for small, compact crossovers, hatchbacks and sedans, not large trucks or SUVs. Batteries don't scale up well. I have a Chevy Bolt EUV and it's great, the most economical vehicle I've ever owned, it's cheap to charge at home and there's virtually no maintenance. The new 2026 Bolt and the 2026 Nissan Leaf will both be just under $30k and will make great commuter cars or grocery getters.

But once it actually hit production lines, Ford was never able to sell it for anything close to the promised price tag; the 2025 model started at around $55,000.

If you could find one, they were far more than that. And the 2026 model real, available and for sale cost $65k+ and can easily be $90-100k with options.

Of course they killed it.
