I'd buy a Chinese EV. I need an inexpensive vehicle to go from A to B in a city. There doesn't seem to be an inexpensive option anymore in North America.

Mext municipal election you should make sure to vote for the person who’s championing stronger public transit options. I still have my car from loving in Ottawa but I barely touch it these days(usually for going to Ottawa, because I can easily get to Gare Centrale with the metro here but once I get to Ottawa it starts getting rough fast if I try to leave the LRT(and before the LRT it was a complete impossibility). Not to mention that it costs more because of the mess we made of privatising CN and shooting VIA rail in both its feet.

It takes me 35min to drive to work, by public transit it would take me 2h. Ontario is fucked.

Yup. It’s not why I left but it is why I’m never moving back.

"inexpensive vehicle" usually means a pre-owned vehicle and there are plenty of affordable pre-owned EVs and hybrids on the market. If you're the kind who buys new cars, then Chevy Bolt and Nissan Leaf are the least expensive. If you compare with new ICE cars, don't forget to account for gasoline cost.
