The Chevy bolt is one exception. It's not exactly desirable by any means but it is electric and quite affordable.

I have EUV and one regular one and they are both quite nicely built. $40k nice? not quite, but has all the advantage of EV brings and then some. Also it's a ton of fun to toss around.

Edit: It also has better build quality than Tesla that's double the price.

Can you realistically road trip in them? Seems like fast charging that isn't Tesla is kind of a crap shoot.

For road trip you get a Tesla, there's no competition right now for charging infrastructure.

My family went with Bolt and suffered it first hand. Every station they stopped by, you had to make a new account add payment info... and do a song and fire dance hoping charging station allows your car to charge. If not, find a new one and rinse and repeat.

Tesla opened they charging to everyone in EU… is it the same in US or did they do it only because EU “insisted”?

EU incentivized it, and it's mandated to be ccs plugs which makes it way more simple.

EU is making not insisted tesla open their chargers for everyone. Us government isn't doing the same. Chances are once tesla figure out how to charge everyone appropriately for using thr chargers, us market will see the changes. I always said it, I think tesla will make its money on having the infrastructure and providing charging solutions rather than selling cars. Where's my robotaxi, truck...etc.
