I wasn't in the market for an F-150, but a minivan, and the EV minivan doesn't exist, the PHEV minivan is way higher priced than the regular one, and the hybrid minivan is nearly impossible to find.

So I have a boring standard one now.




VW is apparently coming out with one next year...

My suggestion that we move to an 18-24 month gestation were rejected and so a vehicle available today was needed.

Hopefully it does well, but it would be nice to see EV minivans competitive with the low-end instead of being luxury items.


I'm as sticker shocked about inflation as anyone, is there a new minivan that is less expensive than the Kia Carnival (starts at $33,200)? Assuming $40k for the ID.Buzz, minus a $7,500 tax credit, gives about the same ball-park price.

Carnival is what we went with, but after all and sundry, it was $41k out the door (to be fair, we went up a trim level).
