I live in a bad neighborhood in NJ, close to Camden, lots of Kias and Hyundais got stolen or broken into during the height of the Tiktok challenge so I don’t feel safe getting EV6 or ionic 5, there are some Teslas but like 2 out of 100 cars. I just want a EV that looks like a regular car and not eye catching. I have a Chevy Cruze now so I don’t want to get any more Chevy because it was such a unreliable car. Anyone that lives in bad neighborhoods with EV and what’s your experience has been like with safety?
Yes, I live in South Sacramento, where it is generally accepted as “Southside Iraq”, such that areas with EVs will be targeted for vandalism and theft, because it is generally understood these people have more money/items to steal. The only surefire way I’ve seen deterrence work is if they also live in gated communities as well.
