I was in the market for a new electric car earlier this year, but ended up going with a gas because of how few choices there were in the lower end. There were plenty of luxury electric cars, but when it came to the $20ks range, the only options were companies notorious for bad build quality and frequent recalls like Hyundai.
None of the reputable companies like Honda, Toyota, Mazda, etc., had any electric sedans at all in 2023.
It helps that the model Y has a trunk that’s actually accessible versus 3. I would much prefer a practical sedan or wagon but there is not much choice besides the Model S (which lacked a tow hook until recently) and the EQE/EQS (for which the styling requires some getting used to).
I say this as a sedan EV driver, but they make more SUVs because customers buy more SUVs.
