My wife and I were thinking of switching to an EV before all the prices start going up due to the tarrifs but the US EV market is really underwhelming.

Most of the options are either SUVs or overpriced luxury cars. I just want a reasonably priced sedan that can fit 5 people including two car seats comfortably.

I hate capitalism

I would have all the supplies i need for a stable living situation if money wasn't in the way

I lack:
Pneumatic springs for the side solar panels on the bus to prop up solar panels while being wind and weather resistant
Magnets for the side solar panels on the bus
Ubolts for bus suspension
More 12v batteries for more stable power at night (need atleast 2 more for now)
Replacement connectors for escooter
Materials to rebuild the bus into a more livable place (replacement of ceiling, materials for lab/office, materials for kitchen and bathroom, Insulation for inside of bus)
Insulation and heat shielding for 100 gal water tank as well as tank heaters for cold months

Tire change for bus as the retreads are prone to coming off at any point

I will need as much as possible as building it out is intense in every way in this realm

And ill need this boosted everywhere if yall are able to
