Partly that's in recognition of the fact that atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are now far higher than at any time since humans have walked the planet.Just under a third (32.5 percent) say they're willing to spend $24,999 or less on a new EV, which entirely rules them out of the market, considering that the Chevrolet Bolt is the cheapest EV on sale and still costs $25,600.Another 20.9 percent won't go above $34,999, which rules in the Bolt EUV ($27,200), Nissan Leaf ($28,895), Mazda MX-30 ($34,695), Hyundai Kona Electric ($34,845), and if we fudge it a bit, the Mini Cooper SE ($35,075).Lucky them—most of the new EVs Ars has driven recently are north of this price, and they've all been pretty great vehicles.GM will add an electric Equinox to its range next year at "around $30,000," but I'm struggling to think of another cheap EV on the immediate horizon."
