A Rivian owner was in a fender bender. The repair bill was $42,000.::The repairs cost over half the starting price for the Rivian EV. The owner said he’d expected it wouldn’t be cheap, but it was a “shocking number.”

    I have nothing against EVs as a concept, but there are no good EVs that are reasonably priced and even the expensive ones can be shitty and ridiciulously expensive to maintain or repair. If there was a true electric equivalent to something like a Honda Civic or a Toyota Corolla I’d buy it in a heartbeat. Closest thing I can think of would be a Prius but they’re still pretty expensive.
