I could keep driving my same car for another 5 years, at the cost of about $150 month plus odd repairs, or I can pay $300/ month for something new. I have big worries about the cost of battery repairs as well.
I really want to adopt an EV, but my clunker is super cheap to drive and easy to fix.

Eventually, yeah. If I add a new motor and clutch over that time the cost goes up to $200/month. I'm still not high enough to justify the cost of a new car with increased insurance and taxes.
