Nobody is going to open up and fix EV's in the near future. When they break down people will be expected to just go buy a new one. Especially if they are much cheaper to produce and buy. If you can buy a car for 3-5k nobody is going to fix them.
By all means, show me a new car with a list price of 3-5k. Current ICE cars already cost 10x that amount, and EV cars are generally even more expensive. On what basis do you expect new cars to ever cost 3-5k? That's the range of an electric bicycle, not a car.
But sure, I was exaggerating. I should have said 10-15k where you will find more examples that are less deadly to drive :)
But actually, I agree with the other comment. I would be surprised if the automotive industry doesn't manage to force us all into car subscriptions.
For the first little while you'll have to buy the car and the subscription, but over time the upfront cost will be less and the subscription will get bigger.
