Bleak as the market is for used-car buyers, the computer chip shortage has also driven new-vehicle prices higher. The average new vehicle, Edmunds.com says, is edging toward $46,000.

Sadly those electric vehicles will soon be cheaper then any new car on the lot ( and as prices of used cars keep going up and up ) it may soon be the cheaper option, but still out of reach for the majority.  Thanks Sniffy!

Beyond the sticker shock of the car, and lack of infrastructure to charge them - you get to look forward to the 4-8 year battery replacement that can run a considerable chunk of the cost of the car itself.
