*the asterisk: apartments and urban environments remain deserts for home charging. That's a structural flaw (inherent bias?) in how EVs rolled out in the US — especially given the price point. Other global markets have figured out charging in dense zones. Why haven't we?

Charging availability is still the #1 reason people reject EVs, per new JD Power data. EV owners know: the gas station is now your garage. It's not about fast charging (for most*). State & utility incentives exist nationwide. Most buyers have no idea. Where's the PSA?

If you want help tracking one of these down — or figuring out which one is right for you — that's exactly what Lanekeep does. lanekeep.com

🚙 VW ID.4 (avg. price $21K, down 13%) 🐴 Ford Mach-E ($29K, down 9.5%) 🇰🇷 Kia Niro EV ($19K, down 8.7%). 🌿 and even Nissan Leaf ($15K, down 8.9%)

Used EV prices are up 6% since last year. But retail prices on non-Tesla EVs are actually down 10%. That gap is an opportunity — and with gas prices the way they are, the window won't stay open long. Four EVs worth considering right now while the market sleeps on them:

Ford's CEO drives a Chinese EV to study the competition. Americans are banned from buying one. He's allowed to know what he's up against. His customers aren't. Here's why car shoppers should demand better: youtu.be/JgfHbZ33ZBA

A two-row EV exists with 450 miles of range, 12-minute charging, and a price tag $8,000 below a comparable Tesla Model Y. You can't buy one in America. This week in the Lanekeep Letter, we get into why — and why that should bother every EV shopper: buff.ly/BdvEUyf

300,000 EVs coming off lease in 2026. Most are 2022-23 models, ~25k miles, warranty intact. Sounds like a buyer’s market. The catch: wholesale EV prices are up 8% YoY. Demand is absorbing supply faster than expected. Gas above $4/gallon will do that. Need help? Link in bio.

40% of used EVs are now under $25k — mostly 2021-23 models coming off lease. Low miles, modern batteries, less to go wrong. There’s a ceiling on what you can know about a used gas car. Battery health is a readable number. Range retention is trackable data. Embrace the data.

The framework: don't optimize for the highest MPG number. Buy the vehicle your life requires and get the hybrid version vs. the gas one. The wallet and carbon math both point to the same place.

At 15,000 miles/year + $3/gal, going from 20→35 MPG saves 321 gallons & $960/yr. Yet going 35→51 MPG only saves 135 gallons + $405. The curve flattens fast. Maverick (37), Sienna (36), Grand Highlander, CR-V, Tucson all clear 35 MPG in real-world testing.

When it comes to your wallet and carbon footprint, EVs are the bolder move. But if you're shopping hybrid, Consumer Reports' 2026 real-world MPG data has a lesson worth understanding before you step into a dealership. 🧵
