So... you want a car that is:

1. New

2. Electric

3. Sub $25k

Drop any one of those, and you'll have plenty of options. This isn't about a K-shaped economy -- it's about adding significant constraints and being unwilling to compromise on any of them.

Also what's wrong with "loans for the rest"? Most new cars are bought with financing and have been for a long time.

last i saw, byd will be selling a few models for ~25k CAD when they bring them to canada. that's like ~18k USD and meets all 3 criteria.

No, you do not need to compromise, you just have to look outside the US.

In other words: BYD.

Auto loans have gotten out of hand. 5, 6, or even 7-year car loans? That's not a good sign of the economy.
