      As opposed to what your comment implies, the drivetrain (EV or ICE) has nothing to do with cars spying on you. You should not blame the technology itself because shady car companies spying on your internet connected car. Most of them are well known ICE car brands that do the spying (GM, Volkswagen for instance)

      Yes, most new ICE cars are Internet connected now, not just EVs.

      Blame those greedy corporations, not the technology.

        exactly, data collection is an issue with new cars in general. It’s not a reason to buy a new ICE car instead of a new EV.

          It is a reason to not buy a new car which means people who aren’t buying new cars won’t be buying EV’s.

      with the used EV tax credit there are good options at ~20k.

      edit: why downvotes? the used EV market is bigger every year and if the price is under $25k you get a ~$4k credit.
