She's willing to spend $50-60k cash or perhaps a bit more for the right vehicle, but can't find anything at all in to buy or even to order to come in a couple months.
She wants a smallish suv or hatchback that she can put a women's bike inside with the car seats down and wants it to be a full EV or possibly plug in hybrid.
Any thoughts on what could be available or how best to acquire something in the next couple months? She lives on Vancouver island, and I think she'd be good getting something anywhere in BC. She thinks Alberta is too burdensome to bring back to BC, but I'm not sure it is that hard?
Anyone who can help at all would be appreciated or a hook up with someone who could help!

How much mileage does she drive? If it's not a lot, then there isn't much rationale for a full EV - financially or even environmentally from an allocation of resources standpoint in this time of scarcity (ie. her driving one 5000km per year would preclude someone else from getting it to drive 20000km per year).
