But $95,000 is steep for me. I want a fast-charging decent sedan/SUV that can go at least 300 miles for around $25K. But it sounds like fast-charging systems are developing quickly so hopefully the used market develops.

The real problem is that we have idiots and oil companies in charge (no pun intended) of this country.

Remember back in 2000, we could have taken the lead on this situation---Chrysler and Ford had diesel-hybrids getting 70+ MPG in response to a Clinton--Gore initiative. That all ended with Florida and Trump v. Gore, sadly.
