So until EVs become significantly cheaper to buy, I don't really see myself getting into one.

Now that I'm a 10 min walk to my kid's daycare we drive about 600km/mo so while I'd love to go EV (for a whole bunch of reasons) I can't justify it financially. Sure, I can sell my RDX for close-ish to what I paid but it'd take me years to break even on a EV6/Ioniq5 ($63k all in for a loaded on versus selling my RDX for about $45k).
